A:
In New Jersey, serving as an authorized representative on someone's NJ FamilyCare application is generally allowed, and individuals can assist with the application process without necessarily being paid a fee. However, if you plan to charge a fee for providing this service, it's important to be aware of potential regulations and ethical considerations.
While there isn't a specific law against charging a fee for helping someone with their NJ FamilyCare application, you should exercise caution to ensure that your actions are in compliance with any relevant laws and regulations. It's advisable to be transparent about any fees you intend to charge and to provide a clear agreement outlining the terms of your services. Additionally, you should avoid engaging in any fraudulent or deceptive practices.
