Correct. If the original application was approved because of pregnancy, you need to reapply to be approved as low income.

Don't you also need low income to be approved for pregnancy?

The numbers are different. But we are within the low income bracket even without pregnancy. I'm just going to go down to toms river.

Does Parsonage count as income in regards to Jersey Care and/or food stamps and HUD in NJ?

Regarding JerseyCare:
According to this guidence from the United Methodist Church (pages 4 & 20), housing allowance (parsonage) is not included in MAGI.

Nothing to do with age, has to do with income

Really? That's great! So even over 18 is still on the plan?

At a certain age they can apply for their own plan

Age does make a difference. On the income eligibility chart there are different guidelines for children and adults.
If a couple has a 18 or below year old child he is covered based on their income level. When he turns 19 I assume he would need to reapply as an adult (and I'm not sure whether he should use his parents income level if he lives at home and is fully supported?) and would have a higher barrier to entry to be covered.

Income Eligibility and Cost

NJ FamilyCare covers: children, pregnant women, parents/caretaker relatives, and single adults/childless couples.

Children 18 and under are eligible with higher incomes up to 355% FPL ($7,174/month for a family of four). Parents still need to renew the coverage each year.
Parents/Caretaker Relatives with income up to 138% FPL ($2,789/month for a family of four) must have tax dependent children in their household in order to be eligible under this category. Dependent children in the household must be insured also.
Adults without dependent children among ages 19-64 with incomes up to 138% FPL ($1,354/month for a single person and $1,832/month for a couple).
Pregnant Women up to 205% FPL ($4,143/month for a family of four).



Therefore, the answer to the question: At what age do children stop receiving coverage from Jersey Care? is when they turn 19, but they can possibly get new coverage as an adult although there's a much more restrictive income level.

Thanks for the super clear answer! Where/how does the child apply? Can it be done online? Is it a completely new app, or somewhat related to the parents' (and his own prior) coverage?

IIRC My brother submitted a new app and got denied due to prior coverage

i applied as a single father for myself and newborn son because my im not legally married and my wife is from ny and covered by private insurance from her fathers work.
i recieved a letter stating that IF the mother is living in my household they need photo id and social and proof of income.
should i just say that she doesnt live in the houshold?

That would be a lie.

It seems that even though you're not married they feel that household income should include her income.

theres no income from any of us.
i just want it to be as easy as possible and avoid having to send in more documents......
i have no problem saying she doesnt live in the houshold to avoid the extra paperwork. i just want to know if this will effect anything

It shouldn't effect either way, as long as your not applying for her. And being that theres no income it wont help to add her. although be careful that documents dont mention her. (Lease, bank acccnts)

we have a joint savings account that i gave a statement copy of which has her name on it.
that may be why they asked for her info.
i wonder if i can explain that we have an account together but dont live together
