New Jersey S1963 requires automatic enrollment of certain individuals in health benefits plans and mandates data publication on NJ FamilyCare.

New Jersey S1963 mandates the automatic enrollment of individuals who lose Medicaid eligibility due to income changes into a health benefits plan if they are not eligible for employer-based coverage. The Commissioner of Banking and Insurance must enroll these individuals in the lowest cost silver-level plan available through the State-based exchange if their annual household income is up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level, or the lowest cost plan at the best actuarial value if their income exceeds this threshold.
