Residents may obtain assistance at the Family Center nearest to their home and are encouraged to call for an appointment. Family Centers are located in Egg Harbor Township, Hammonton, Pleasantville, and two in Atlantic City at 1700 Marmora Avenue and 411 N. New York Avenue.

NJ FamilyCare applicants must provide proof of income (2 consecutive pay stubs, employer offer letter, etc.), proof of citizenship or qualified immigrant status (official passports, Visa, permanent resident card, etc.), proof of other insurance, if applicable. NJ FamilyCare is not intended to replace existing coverage. To learn more about NJ FamilyCare, visit http://www.njfamilycare.org/
