Additional New Jersey Family Care Express Lane Applications Sent to over 60,000 New Jersey Residents

By Bruce Stern

On July 1, 2009 Governor Corzine announced another 62,000 households in New Jersey will receive the

applications they requested on their state tax forms. This second regional mailing is for families residing in Essex and Hudson counties.

The New Jersey Family Care Express Lane ensures that children in New Jersey will have access to the health care services they deserve.

Governor Corzine states, 'Ensuring that children have a healthy start in life has been a personal priority for me,' Governor Corzine said. 'It has been a precedent in each of my budgets and last July, we even expanded the program to include a child mandate and enrolled thousands more kids and their families.  And when the Bush administration tried to cut 10,000 kids out of New Jersey's Family Care Program, we said ‘NO,' taking appropriate legal action. So I am particularly proud that through this new Express Lane option, New Jersey is making even greater strides to reach and enroll every eligible child and in doing so has become a national model for other states to follow.'
