NJ Medicaid for Pregnant Women
NJ FamilyCare/Medicaid programs provide coverage for pregnant women who are residents of New Jersey and either U.S. Citizens or immigrants whose papers allow them to reside permanently in the US. Family income must be at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) - for example $46,100 annual income for a family of four. This coverage extends to women during the pregnancy and for 60 days following delivery or the date on which the pregnancy ends. A child born to an eligible Medicaid mother is eligible for NJ FamilyCare/Medicaid for one year regardless of changes in the family's income. Call your local County Welfare Agency to see if eligibility can be extended beyond these time periods.
