New Jersey A2054 mandates changes to policies for family support and respite care services for individuals under 21 with developmental disabilities.

New Jersey A2054 requires the Division of Children’s System of Care to establish a 12-month authorization period for family support and respite care services for individuals under 21 with developmental disabilities. The bill ensures families or guardians of these individuals receive a bank of respite care service hours, separate from other family support service hours, based on specific needs. It also replaces the annual reapplication process with an annual reevaluation process for family support services.
