Family Planning (Plan First Program)

If any person on this application is not eligible for NJ FamilyCare, would you like them to be evaluated for family planning services (Plan First Program)?

Yes	Check here for all applicants on this application to be evaluated for family planning services.

Plan First is a program for women and men that provides only family planning and related services (such as birth control and reproductive health care). Family planning services do not provide minimum essential health care coverage (such as routine care).

Who do you need to include on this application?

DO Include:

•Yourself

•Your spouse

•Your children under 21 who live with you

•Your unmarried partner who needs health coverage

•Anyone you include on your tax return, even if they don’t live with you

•Anyone else under 21 who you take care of and lives with you

You DON’T have to include:

•Your unmarried partner who doesn’t need health coverage

•Your unmarried partner’s children

•

(if you’re over 21)

•

The amount of assistance or type of program you qualify for depends on the number of people in your family and their incomes. This information helps us make sure everyone gets the best coverage they can.

Complete Step 2 for each person in your family. Start with yourself, then add other adults and children. If you have more than 2 people in your family, you’ll need to make a copy of the pages and attach them.

You don’t need to provide immigration status or a Social Security Number (SSN) for family members who don’t need health coverage. We’ll keep all the information you provide private and secure as required by law. We’ll use personal information only to check if you’re eligible for health coverage.

Choose one:

Aetna Better Health® of New Jersey (Available in ALL counties)

Amerigroup New Jersey, Inc. (Available in ALL counties)

Horizon NJ Health (Available in ALL counties)

UnitedHealthcare Community Plan (Available in ALL counties)

WellCare Health Plans of New Jersey (Available in ALL counties, except Hunterdon county)

I understand that if I’m found eligible and because I have joined a Health Plan, I must follow the rules for obtaining health care from the Health Plan. I understand that I must let my Health Plan and NJ FamilyCare know if there is any change in the number of people in my family and that any newborn children will be enrolled in my Health Plan. I understand that, unless I, or a family member, have a true medical emergency, I must call my personal doctor for medical advice, medical care or for a referral to a specialist. I understand that if I, or a family member, have a true medical emergency, I must call my personal doctor or the Health Plan as soon as possible after I, or the family member, go to the hospital. I understand that I must keep any medical appointment I have scheduled with a doctor and, if I cannot, I must call the doctor’s oﬃce to cancel the appointment. I understand that if I go to a doctor other than my personal doctor I have selected, without a referral from my doctor or

approval from the Health Plan, I may have to pay for that doctor’s services because NJ FamilyCare will not pay for the unapproved service or visit. I understand that I may change to another Health Plan and that I can call the Health Beneﬁts Coordinator to help me do that. I give permission

for the release of my medical history and health care records and those of my family members who will be enrolled to any person(s) in the Health Plan and its providers who shall provide or coordinate health care to me and my family as long as I am a member of the Health Plan.

What is the NJ FamilyCare application form used for?

The NJ FamilyCare application form is used to apply for health coverage options, including free or low-cost insurance from Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). By completing this application, families can find out what coverage they may qualify for, which helps ensure they receive the necessary medical care.

Who is eligible to apply using this form?

Anyone in the family can be included in the application. This includes yourself, your spouse, children under 21, and any dependents listed on your tax return. Even if someone already has health insurance, they can still apply, as there may be options for lower-cost or free coverage. The application is also open to families that include immigrants.

What information must be provided when completing the application?

You will need to provide Social Security Numbers or documentation for legal immigrants, income and employer information for all family members, policy numbers for any current health insurance, and information about any job-related health insurance available to your family. This data helps determine eligibility for various coverage options and assistance programs.

What happens after I submit my application?

Once you have completed and signed your application, send it to the address listed on page 7. If you do not have all the required information, you can still submit the application. Expect a follow-up within 1–2 weeks, detailing the next steps for completing your health coverage. If you do not receive a response, visit the NJ FamilyCare website or call their assistance hotline.

How can I get help with the application process?

You can receive assistance with the NJ FamilyCare application in several ways. Online help is available at njfamilycare.org. For phone support, call the Help Center at 1-800-701-0710. In-person assistance may also be accessible through designated counselors in your area. Additional resources are available in multiple languages, ensuring that everyone can get the help they need.

When filling out the NJ FamilyCare Application form, there are several common mistakes that individuals often make which can lead to processing delays or unsuccessful applications. One significant mistake is failing to provide accurate and complete personal information. This includes the applicant's name, address, and phone numbers. Any errors in this section can cause delays in communication or follow-up from the application review team.

Another frequent error involves underreporting household income. Many applicants do not fully understand the income calculation process. It is vital to include all sources of income for every family member, as this affects eligibility for coverage options. Neglecting to list even small amounts of income can impact the assessment of eligibility and assistance.

Many applicants also overlook the requirement to include all necessary documentation along with their application. Missing documents can lead to application denial or unnecessary delays. Examples of required documentation include Social Security numbers and employer information, which must be complete and verifiable.

Users sometimes fail to indicate whether they want to receive updates about their application via email, phone, or mail. Leaving this question blank can result in missed communication regarding the status of their application. It is important to provide a preferred method of contact for efficient feedback.

Submitting an incomplete application is another common pitfall. Some applicants mistakenly believe they can complete the process later or ignore sections they find confusing. However, submitting a fully completed application, even if it requires additional information later on, helps ensure a smoother process.

People also often forget to include dependents who need coverage. Certain individuals qualify for assistance even if they do not live with the applicant. It’s essential to include all family members eligible for consideration, including children and spouses.

Some applicants do not review the application for errors before submission. Typographical mistakes, particularly in Social Security numbers or financial information, can cause significant issues. Double-checking the application can prevent these avoidable mistakes.

Another mistake is assuming that existing health coverage excludes eligibility for assistance. Many do not realize that even those with insurance might qualify for lower-cost options or additional help. Hence, including details about any current coverage is essential.

Finally, individuals may fail to seek help when they encounter difficulties during the application process. NJ FamilyCare offers various support options, including online resources and a help center. Utilizing these services can clarify uncertainties and assist applicants in providing accurate information.

The NJ FamilyCare application form serves as a gateway to obtaining health coverage and financial assistance for many households in New Jersey. When applying, it’s important to gather several additional documents and forms that may be necessary to support your application. Below is a list of other commonly used forms and documents that can help streamline the process.

Proof of Income: This includes recent pay stubs, W-2 forms, or tax returns that demonstrate your household's financial status. Providing accurate income information helps determine your eligibility for various coverage options.
Social Security Numbers: Include the Social Security numbers for each member of your family applying for coverage. This information is essential for processing your application and checking eligibility.
Immigration Status Documentation: If any family members are immigrants, documentation confirming their legal status, such as a green card or visa, must be provided. This ensures compliance with federal guidelines regarding health coverage applications.
Insurance Policy Numbers: If you or any family member currently hold health insurance, provide policy numbers. This information is critical to understanding existing coverage and determining if you qualify for additional assistance.
Employment Verification: Documenting employment through letters from employers or pay stubs can provide clarity on your job status and income. This is especially useful if your work situation has recently changed.
Proof of Residence: A utility bill, lease agreement, or any official document showing your current address can help verify your residence within New Jersey, which is a requirement for NJ FamilyCare eligibility.
Medical Documentation: If anyone in the household has ongoing medical conditions, providing medical records may help in obtaining the right level of coverage and services.
Dependent Information: Collect details about any dependents you claim on your taxes, including names, birthdates, and Social Security numbers. This helps ensure everyone who is eligible is covered.
Tax Returns: Submitting your federal tax returns may be necessary to verify household income levels and provide additional context about your financial situation.
Child Care Expenses Information: If you incur child care costs, providing documentation for these expenses can be beneficial as it might impact your income calculations and eligibility for assistance.

Gathering these documents ahead of time can facilitate a smoother application process and help ensure you receive the appropriate health coverage options for your family. Always keep original documents safe and provide only copies unless specifically instructed otherwise. If assistance is needed during this process, feel free to reach out to the NJ FamilyCare help center or local health care navigators.

The NJ FamilyCare Application form shares similarities with several other important documents that individuals may encounter when seeking health coverage or financial assistance. Here is a breakdown of seven such documents, explaining how each aligns with the NJ FamilyCare Application.

Medicaid Application Form: Like the NJ FamilyCare form, a Medicaid application aims to determine eligibility for government-funded health insurance based on income and household size. Both require detailed information about applicants' financial situations and family members.
Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Application: The CHIP application is similar because it addresses coverage options for low-income families with children. Both forms assess income and family structure to identify eligibility for health coverage.
Marketplace Health Insurance Enrollment Form: This form allows individuals to enroll in health coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. Like the NJ FamilyCare form, it collects personal and financial data to determine available health plans and potential subsidies.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Application: While focused on disability benefits, the SSDI application also gathers extensive personal information, including income and family size. Both applications analyze the financial status of the applicant to determine eligibility.
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Application: SNAP and NJ FamilyCare both require a detailed account of household income and members. Both programs provide assistance, with one focusing on food security and the other on health coverage.
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Application: The TANF application is designed for families in financial hardship. Similar to NJ FamilyCare, it necessitates thorough personal and financial disclosures to assess eligibility for support programs.
Individual Health Insurance Application: When applying for private health insurance, individuals must provide information regarding their income, family size, and health status. Like the NJ FamilyCare application, this form evaluates eligibility and expected premiums based on the disclosed information.

Here are five things to consider when filling out the NJ FamilyCare Application form:

Provide accurate information: Ensure all details, such as names, addresses, and income, are correct and up to date.
Include all eligible family members: List yourself, your spouse, and any children or dependents who live with you.
Use your Social Security Number: Provide your SSN if you want health coverage, as it helps speed up the application process.
Don’t skip required fields: Fill out every section that applies to you. Missing information may delay your application.
Don’t hesitate to ask for help: If you have questions, utilize the online resources or call the Help Center for assistance.

Being thorough can make the application process smoother and ensure you get the best coverage options for your family.

Misconception 1: Only uninsured individuals can apply.

Many people believe that if they currently have health insurance, they cannot apply for NJ FamilyCare. However, you can still apply even if you already have coverage. You may qualify for lower-cost or free alternatives.

Misconception 2: It's only for low-income families.

While NJ FamilyCare does serve low-income families, it's more inclusive than that. Eligibility is based on various factors, including family size and income, so some moderately income families can benefit as well.

Misconception 3: You must provide a Social Security Number.

Some applicants shy away due to concerns about Social Security Numbers. You do need this number only if you want health coverage. For family members who do not need coverage, providing a SSN is not necessary.

Misconception 4: Applications take too long to process.

Many believe that submitting the application is a long and tedious process. In reality, while the processing may vary, you can expect to hear back within 1–2 weeks. If you submit an incomplete application, that may also expedite the follow-up.

Misconception 5: The application is too complicated.

This application may initially seem daunting, but it's designed for ease of use. Clear prompts guide you through each step. Assistance is available online, over the phone, or in-person if you need help.

Misconception 6: You can't receive help if you're an immigrant.

Some individuals think immigrants are ineligible for NJ FamilyCare. In fact, families that include immigrants can apply. This program accommodates various immigration statuses and provides needed support for eligible families.

Filling out the NJ FamilyCare Application form can be an important step towards securing health coverage for you and your family. Here are some key takeaways to keep in mind as you navigate the process:

Everyone Counts: You can apply for all members of your family, whether or not they currently have health coverage. This includes children, spouses, and others you support, such as tax dependents.
Eligibility for All: Even if someone in your family is not eligible for NJ FamilyCare, you can still apply for family planning services through the Plan First Program.
Gather Information: Before starting the application, make sure to have essential documents ready. This includes Social Security numbers, income information, and current health insurance policy numbers.
Online Applications are Quicker: You may complete your application online through njfamilycare.org for a faster process.
Sign It: After filling out the application, make sure it is signed before sending it to the provided address. If information is missing, submit the application anyway.
What to Expect: You will receive follow-up instructions within 1–2 weeks after submitting your application. If you don’t hear from them, don’t hesitate to reach out via the website or call for assistance.
Help is Available: If you run into any challenges while filling out the application, you can seek help online, by phone, or even in-person with local counselors.
Privacy Matters: Know that the information you provide is kept secure and confidential, as mandated by law. Your personal details will only be used to determine your eligibility for coverage.

By keeping these takeaways in mind, you can approach the NJ FamilyCare application process with confidence. Remember, it's an opportunity to access potentially much-needed health coverage.
