A 6064 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes limited medical benefit program for individuals losing NJ FamilyCare coverage under "One Big Beautiful Bill Act"; establishes medical relief fund in Treasury; appropriates funds.

This bill establishes a medical relief program for New Jersey residents who lose NJ FamilyCare coverage due to specific provisions in the federal "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA). It creates a $650 million "New Jersey Medical Relief Fund" to provide eligible individuals with electronic benefits transfer cards for qualifying medical services including emergency care, physician visits, prescription drugs, and behavioral health services. The program automatically enrolls people provisionally when they lose NJ FamilyCare coverage, providing benefits for up to 12 months (or until funds are exhausted) with annual eligibility reviews. Individuals can self-pay at NJ FamilyCare reimbursement rates for services after their benefits are exhausted.
