New Jersey will receive approximately $2.2 billion in additional Medicaid assistance over three federal fiscal years. This additional money will help to forestall the worst cuts in service and enable the state to protect the most vulnerable during this economic crisis. The increase is in recognition of the State’s growing health care costs, including the increasing numbers of uninsured. Medicaid enrollment grew by 8 percent or 84,000 people last year. New Jersey’s Medicaid program currently serves more than 1.1 million New Jersey residents. Unemployment has also increased from 6.1% in November to 7.1% in December and that will result in increased Medicaid enrollment.
