Excludes certain income earned from health promotion or disease prevention work from income eligibility determination under NJ FamilyCare, WFNJ, and NJ SNAP.

This bill changes how New Jersey calculates income eligibility for three assistance programs: NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid), Work First New Jersey, and NJ SNAP. It allows individuals who work as community outreach workers for health promotion or disease prevention programs to exclude their first $5,000 of annual earnings from these income calculations. Community outreach workers are defined as temporary employees of non-profit organizations or health departments who connect community members with health and social services. The bill requires state officials to seek necessary federal approvals to implement these changes and take effect immediately upon passage.
