NJ FamilyCare ( Medicaid) Changes :

A new law called HR1 is changing who qualifies for NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid) — the health insurance many families use. Some family members may get a letter saying their coverage will end on October 1, 2026. You can help. Here is what you need to know — and what you can do right now.


Things You Can Do to Help Your Family Right Now

  1. Check the mail every day.
    Look for letters from NJ FamilyCare (Medicaid). Do not throw anything away.
  2. Tell your family member about the letter.
    Read it together. Find out what it says and when the deadline is.
  3. Help gather documents.
    The letter will ask for papers showing immigration status. Help find passports, visas, green cards, or other official documents.
  4. Help send the documents.
    The letter will say where to send them. Mail, fax, or submit online.
    Sending documents CANNOT hurt —
    it can only help keep coverage.
  5. Call for free help if you need it.
    You do not have to figure this out alone.

Important Facts to Know:

  • You do not have to share your parents’ immigration status when asking about your own coverage or your siblings’ coverage.
