NJ FamilyCare is a federal and state funded health insurance program created to help New Jersey's uninsured children and certain parents and guardians acquire affordable health coverage. It is not a welfare program. NJ FamilyCare is for families who do not have available or affordable employer insurance, and cannot afford to pay the high cost of private health insurance. Children in a family of four earning up to $70,000 each year qualify for insurance through this program. You can download an application or apply online from their website.

The New Jersey Catastrophic Illness in Children Relief Fund is intended to be a financial resource for New Jersey families overwhelmed with their child's medical bills. Families with or without insurance are vulnerable to extraordinary costs associated with the catastrophic illness of a child and this fund provides direct monetary assistance to qualified families.
