Bill > S3593

Introduced Session

This bill requires the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services within the Department of Human Services to accept a permanent change of station order to a duty location located in New Jersey, issued by any branch of the United States military to the parent or legal guardian of an applicant, for the purposes of satisfying the residency requirement for the provision of home and community based services reimbursed by the Medicaid program. Under the bill, "permanent change of station order" means the official documentation issued by a branch of the United States military to an active duty member requiring the member's relocation, along with the relocation of any dependents living with the member, from one duty location to another. The bill codifies provisions found at N.J.A.C 10:46-2.2 which provides that for individuals applying for home and community based services, whose guardian is in the United States military, residency may be established when the guardian can produce a permanent change of station order to New Jersey.
