Extended Medicaid benefits are available to families who lose eligibility for Medicaid due to employment-related criteria based upon the income standards and methodologies in effect for the Aid to Families with Dependent Children Program as of July 16, 1996. Thus, extended Medicaid benefits will begin with the loss of Work First New Jersey cash assistance only when that loss is coincident with the loss of Medicaid eligibility under the July 16, 1996, Aid to Families with Dependent Children Program income standards and methodologies.
