Hearing Aid Assistance to the Aged and Disabled (HAAAD)

• HAAAD provides up to a $500 reimbursement to offset the purchase of one hearing aid, or up to $1,000 for two hearing aids, per calendar year;
• If a hearing aid is purchased in a subsequent calendar year, a new HAAAD application is required;
• “Hearing Aid” means a custom-fitted ear-level or body-worn electronic device which enhances communication for the hearing impaired;
• Beneficiaries must be currently enrolled in the Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled (PAAD) program or Lifeline Utility Assistance (Lifeline) program, and meet the PAAD and Lifeline eligibility criteria to assist in verification of age or disability status, residency, and annual income
• Individuals NOT currently enrolled in the PAAD or Lifeline program must complete an NJSave application before submitting a HAAAD application. For application instructions, visit: https://www.nj.gov/humanservices/doas/forms/NJSave_instr.pdf. For more information, contact: 1 (800) 792-9745. 
• If an individual has hearing aid benefits under Medicaid, another health insurance provider, or retirement benefits, HAAAD would not assist in reimbursement.
• If coverage is limited or partial, reimbursement with HAAAD may be possible within guidelines
