(a) The purpose of this subchapter is to establish requirements to implement the NJ WorkAbility program in accordance with 30:4D-1 et seq., as amended by P.L. 2000, c. 116, and in accordance with the Federal Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act, Public Law 106-170 (113 Stat. 1860), and 42 U.S.C. § 1396a(a)(10)(A)(ii)(XV). The purpose of the NJ WorkAbility program is to provide an opportunity for disabled individuals who are employed to purchase Medicaid coverage when their earnings would otherwise disqualify them for Medicaid.

These individuals may apply to purchase Medicaid coverage (Medicaid buy-in) from the State of New Jersey, and shall pay for such coverage based on the standards contained in this subchapter.
(c) Unless specifically excepted, all other requirements of this chapter shall apply to the NJ WorkAbility program.
