As an Employment First state, New Jersey can remove a major barrier to the employment and career advancement of people with disabilities by expanding access to NJ WorkAbility, our state Medicaid buy-in program for workers with disabilities. NJ WorkAbility, as it currently stands, places people with disabilities in the untenable position of deciding between working and keeping Medicaid, which they need to live independently. Your support of A5262 -- as introduced – and S3455 for their final passages during this legislative session would enable more New Jerseyans with disabilities, the largest pool of untapped talents, to enter and enrich our state’s work force, which would also help alleviate the ongoing labor shortage.
