NJ FamilyCare programs cover individuals who are age 65 years or older as well as individuals determined by the Social Security Administration or by the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services (DMAHS) as blind or disabled. It is designed for people whose income and resources are not enough to meet the cost of necessary medical care and supporting personal services. An applicant must be a resident of New Jersey and a citizen of the United States or Qualified Immigrant. A Qualified Immigrant is a person classified for Legal Permanent Residence status for a least the preceding five years.
This program is “means tested”, meaning you must meet stated income and countable resource limits to determine eligibility.
