Health Insurance
As a result of the Student Health Insurance Legislative S-2291 passage, New Jersey colleges and universities no longer require full time students to show proof that they are covered by health insurance policies; however, with the passage of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), all citizens must have insurance coverage through a PPACA compliance plan or they will be subject to tax fines beginning January 2014.
Acceptable Insurance (PPACA approved) includes:
- parent’s insurance plan
- an individual marketplace plan
- Medicaid, Medicare
- Tricare, veterans benefits and other government plans
- International plan with ACA comparable coverage (including evacuation and repatriation benefits)-International Students only
