Summary
This policy updates income eligibility limits for New Jersey pharmaceutical assistance programs (PAAD, Lifeline, HAAAD, and Senior Gold) effective January 1, 2007, based on a 3.3% Social Security COLA adjustment. Single persons' limit is $22,572 and married persons' limit is $27,676 for PAAD/Lifeline/HAAAD; Senior Gold ranges from $22,572-$32,572 (single) and $27,676-$37,676 (married). Providers must post the updated notice in accessible public locations.
Action Required
By December 31, 2006: Billing and front desk staff must post the official notice in a location accessible to the general public. Update patient eligibility screening processes to use the new income limits ($22,572 single/$27,676 married for PAAD/Lifeline/HAAAD). Train staff on Senior Gold income tier ranges. Direct eligibility questions to NJ Division of Senior Benefits at 1-800-792-9745. This is an informational update; failure to post may result in patient confusion but does not directly impact billing operations or claims processing.
