Increases hourly limit of reimbursable personal care assistant services under NJ WorkAbility Program.
This bill increases the maximum weekly hours for reimbursable personal care assistant services under New Jersey's WorkAbility Program from 40 to 112 hours. The WorkAbility Program provides Medicaid coverage to employed individuals with disabilities who earn above standard Medicaid income limits but still qualify for support. The change allows participants to access more in-home assistance while working, without altering eligibility requirements like income thresholds or disability determination. The bill requires the state to adjust Medicaid contracts and seek federal approval for the increased reimbursement limit.
