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.
