How to renew
You need to renew your benefits every twelve months to keep them. If you don’t renew on time, you could lose your benefits. But don’t worry! Just follow these easy steps to renew your benefits.
1. Keep an eye out for a notice in the mail.
You’ll get a renewal notice from NJ FamilyCare telling you it’s time to renew.
2. Complete your form and gather documents.
Completely fill out the renewal form with your information and get any documents NJ FamilyCare requests..
3. Send your information back.
Mail or fax your completed form and documents back to NJ FamilyCare.
Have you moved?
If you moved this past year, NJ FamilyCare needs your new address! Call NJ FamilyCare at 1-800-701-0710 (TTY 1-800-701-0720). They can also answer questions about your renewal.
SSI
If you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments, you automatically get Medicaid and do not need to renew your health care benefits each year.
Your medical condition will be reviewed from time to time to make sure you still qualify for SSI benefits. You’ll get a letter in the mail when it’s time for your review.
