Increases income threshold limit for certain Medicaid eligibility groups.

This bill raises the income threshold for Medicaid eligibility under New Jersey's medically needy program from 133.3% to 138% of the federal poverty level. It directly affects pregnant women, children under 21, seniors aged 65+, and blind or disabled individuals who need medical care but have incomes slightly above the previous limit. The key change adjusts the income calculation method used to determine eligibility, allowing more low-income residents to qualify for coverage. This policy update aligns with federal Medicaid guidelines and simplifies the eligibility process for affected groups. The bill amends existing Medicaid statutes without changing program funding or administrative structure.
