S 2753 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Authorizes provision of comprehensive health care coverage to certain undocumented immigrants and children.

This bill, S 2753, would expand New Jersey’s NJ FamilyCare health coverage program to include pregnant undocumented immigrants and their dependent children under age one. Pregnant undocumented immigrants would receive full coverage through the 60 days following their pregnancy, and their children would qualify for coverage until age one - bypassing current rules that limit undocumented immigrants to emergency-only care. The bill requires the state to first seek federal funding for this coverage, and if federal funds aren’t approved, it would rely on state funds. It explicitly states coverage would only be provided in compliance with federal law, defining "undocumented immigrant" as someone unable to verify legal status or lawful presence in the U.S.
