New Jersey Administrative Code
Title 10 - HUMAN SERVICES
Chapter 70 - MEDICALLY NEEDY PROGRAM
Subchapter 4 - INCOME ELIGIBILITY
Section 10:70-4.2 - Eligibility periods
Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 10:70-4.2
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) The retroactive eligibility period is the three calendar months immediately preceding the month in which application for benefits is made.
(b) The prospective eligibility period is the six calendar months beginning with the month of application. Once established, the prospective eligibility period will not be changed unless the case becomes ineligible for the Medically Needy Program during the eligibility period. Upon reapplication for the program, a new prospective eligibility period will be established.
1. Except for certain pregnant
women, eligibility does not extend beyond the end of the eligibility period. A
pregnant woman, who delivers her child near the end of the six-month
eligibility period, may be eligible for a period exceeding six months if her
post-partum extended eligibility exceeds the last day of the prospective
eligibility period (see
10:70-3.4(b)1 ) .
In all other cases, continuation of program benefits is contingent upon a
redetermination of all factors of eligibility (see
10:70-2.5) . Any period of
eligibility for a pregnant woman which exceeds the prospective eligibility
period under the provisions of
10:70-3.4(b)1
shall be without regard to income or resources for such additional period of
time.
