Increases resource threshold for certain Medicaid eligibility groups.
This New Jersey bill increases the resource thresholds for certain Medicaid eligibility groups, including seniors, disabled individuals, and those eligible for nursing home or home-based services. It sets new limits at $40,000 for one-person households, $60,000 for two-person households, and $20,000 more per additional person for larger households. These changes apply to Medicaid pathways that currently have resource limits, such as the Medically Needy pathway, Medicare Savings Programs, and nursing home services. The bill aims to align these resource requirements more closely with the MAGI eligibility group, which does not have a resource test for individuals under 65 without disabilities. The NJ Workability Program, which already has no resource requirement, is not affected by these changes.
