New Jersey A4858 establishes a single online portal for Medicaid self-directed care applications.

The "Self-Directed Care Access Act" mandates the Department of Human Services to create a unified online portal for individuals and applicants of Medicaid waiver programs offering home and community-based services. This portal will facilitate an initial screening assessment to determine eligibility for self-directing services. The act aims to streamline the application process and eliminate administrative barriers for those seeking self-directed care. The provisions will take effect twelve months after the bill's enactment.
