New Jersey’s Medicaid program and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) operate under a single, unified 1115 demonstration: the New Jersey FamilyCare Comprehensive Demonstration. This demonstration is currently in its second five-year performance period, which is slated to expire on June 30, 2022. Consistent with terms and conditions of the approved demonstration, New Jersey intends to submit a renewal application to CMS by the end of October 2021.
This draft proposal gives a brief overview of the history, accomplishments and goals of the demonstration; identifies previously approved demonstration elements, and specifies whether the State proposes to extend, end, or modify each; identifies wholly new program elements the State will submit as part of its renewal request; identifies specific waivers and expenditure authorities the State anticipates requesting as part of its renewal request; describes and updates the State’s evaluation and monitoring strategy for the demonstration; and projects expenditures under the demonstration and how they relate to federal budget neutrality requirements.
