Requires inmate to participate in Medicaid enrollment session 60 days prior to release.

This bill requires inmates in New Jersey state prisons and county correctional facilities to attend a Medicaid enrollment session at least 60 days before their release. During these sessions, trained staff will assist inmates in completing and submitting Medicaid applications, either in person or over the phone. The law also mandates that inmates who choose not to participate must sign a written waiver and receive guidance on Medicaid benefits and application processes for future use. This change aims to streamline healthcare coverage transitions for individuals reentering society after incarceration.
