Medicaid Renewal Letters Are In the Mail

Members Must Respond to Continue Coverage

As required by federal law, New Jersey’s Medicaid program, known as NJ FamilyCare, returned to regular annual eligibility renewals on April 1, 2023. Each month through March 2024, NJ FamilyCare will send a renewal packet to another group of members. Members should continue watching out for mail from NJ FamilyCare and should return renewal packets as soon as possible, even if overdue. 

A 30-day eligibility extension has been enacted for members who never responded to their renewal packets and would have had their coverage terminated at the end of June.

Has Your Address Changed?

NJ FamilyCare has launched a public education campaign, StayCoveredNJ, at nj.gov/StayCoveredNJ, to inform New Jerseyans about the renewal process.
