Healthcare

If you have dependent children, your family may be eligible for health benefits - through a program   called Medicaid - based on your income and situation. Medicaid is a separate program from WFNJ,   but when you apply for WFNJ benefits, your caseworker will also determine your Medicaid   eligibility. As your income changes, so will your Medicaid eligibility.

For more information, call the Medicaid Hotline toll-free: 1-800-356-1561.

Note: If you are a single adult or a couple without dependent children receiving WFNJ   General Assistance (GA), you may also be eligible for medical coverage while you are receiving cash  assistance.
