Can I apply for NJ FamilyCare at any time of year?

Practical guidance, useful next steps and official sources for New Jersey residents.

NJBallot Resident Resources

Yes. NJ FamilyCare enrollment is available year round for residents who qualify. The program includes Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program, with eligibility based on income, household size and applicable program rules. You can apply directly through NJ FamilyCare. If you apply through GetCoveredNJ, the application also checks whether you may qualify for NJ FamilyCare, so you do not need to start two separate applications just to find the appropriate coverage route.

What to do next

Use the official NJ FamilyCare information page to choose the application route.
