Content: A
 
pregnant
 
woman
 
can
 
reapply
 
every
 
month
 
until
 
she
 
delivers
 
as
 
long
 
as
 
she
 
is
 
compliant
 
with
 
NJ
 
FamilyCare
 
and
 
submits
 
all
 
requested
 
documents
 
within
 
the
 
requested
 
timeframe. CHEMED
 
is
 
not
 
able
 
to
 
apply
 
for
 
Emergecy
 
Medicaid
 
to
 
cover
 
a
 
baby
 
up
 
until
 
age
 
1
 
if
 
the
 
mother
 
was
 
on
 
NJ
 
FamilyCare
 
during
 
her
 
pregnancy
 
(even
 
if
 
she
 
just
 
had
 
straight
 
Medicaid
 
with
 
no
 
HMO). For
 
this
 
reason,
 
it
 
is
 
crucial
 
that
 
all
 
births
 
are
 
reported
 
on
 
time
 
so
 
the
 
baby
 
has
 
guaranteed
 
coverage
 
from
 
birth. See
 
the
 
LRRC
 
NJ
 
FamilyCare
 
brochure
 
for
 
instructions
 
on
 
how
 
to
 
report
 
your
 
baby’s
 
birth. A
 
hospital
 
will
 
not
 
apply
 
for
 
Emergency
 
Medicaid
 
to
 
cover
 
newborn
 
babies
 
with
 
a
 
household
 
income
 
over
 
138%
 
FPL. See
 
the
 
LRRC
 
NJ
 
FamilyCare
 
brochure
 
for
 
instructions
 
on
 
how
 
to
 
apply
 
for
 
coverage
 
for
 
the
 
unborn
 
baby
 
during
 
pregnancy. What
 
is
 
the
 
Application
 
Process? The
 
financial
 
assistance
 
department
 
will
 
help
 
you
 
complete
 
an
 
application. If
 
you
 
are
 
approved,
 
you
 
will
 
receive
 
a
 
temporary
 
Medicaid
 
number
 
which
 
can
 
be
 
used
 
right
 
away. Applications
 
submitted
 
for
 
children
 
under
 
1
 
year
 
of
 
age
 
and
 
pregnant
 
women
 
are
 
sent
 
to
 
the
 
county.
