Requires DHS to disregard certain federal pension benefits for veterans in making Medicaid eligibility determinations.

This New Jersey bill requires the Department of Human Services (DHS) to disregard certain federal pension benefits when determining Medicaid eligibility for veterans. It directly affects veterans who receive federal pensions but apply for Medicaid, as these pension payments would no longer count toward their income limit. The key provision amends existing Medicaid rules to exclude these specific benefits from income calculations during eligibility reviews. This change ensures veterans' pension income does not disqualify them from Medicaid coverage they otherwise qualify for under federal and state standards.
