New Jersey Programs

The state of New Jersey offers many forms of financial assistance designed to help families having children. NJ augments traditional health insurance plans with a plethora of additional programs designed to expand the medical safety net.

The Garden State has a wide array of regulations that are friendly towards growing families: infertility mandate, temporary disability, paid leave, extended family leave rights, and more. The infertility mandate helps couples struggling with infertility. The temporary disability, paid leave, and family leave policies help families when a member is unable to work and earn an income.

New Jersey augments traditional health plans with a rare, but a very valuable government program. The temporary disability benefits replace up to 85% of a worker’s gross income, up to a hard dollar cap, which increases slightly every year.

The program applies to people who work in NJ, not residents. Many residents cross a river every morning on their out-of-state commute and lose access.
