Bergen Family Center: What is your status? Knowing is Everything.

What is HIV?

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus which interferes with the body’s immune system, making it harder for the body to fight other infections. HIV is spread through unprotected sex, sharing needles and passive immunity from mother to child.

Should I test?

Today, HIV is again reaching epidemic levels because people who may be infected don’t know it. Whether you engage in unprotected sex, share an unclean needle or you had an incident where you may have been exposed, you should schedule a free and confidential HIV test. BFC partners with the Bergen County Department of Health to provide HIV testing and test results are available in under 20 minutes.

What is involved in testing?

Before testing, you must sign a consent form. Once the consent is signed, a test counselor will meet with you prior to testing to discuss any risk behaviors and post-testing to discuss the meaning of a positive or negative test result and any other questions pertaining to HIV.

The HIV test consists of a simple finger stick. The results are available to you in under 20 minutes.

Benefits of Testing includes:

*Client-centered counseling

*Decreased anxiety from finally knowing HIV status

*Ability to make decisions about condom use with a partner who has also been tested

Where can I get tested?

NJ WorkAbility: Health Coverage that works with you. A job should free your potential, not limit it.

Now you can achieve even more.

If you’re someone with a permanent disability, you’re used to overcoming obstacles. Now you’ve got one less hurdle to deal with. Thanks to a new program called NJ Workability, you’re free to for that job, aim for that raise and get your career in gear. Without having to worry about losing your Medicaid health coverage.

Earn approximately $58,000 annually.

With NJ Workability, you can now earn as much as $58,000 a year and still be fully eligible  for Medicaid health coverage. You can also have up to $20,000 in personal assets, such as a bank account and still qualify.

*The home you live in.

*Vehicles used for medical transportation.

*Vehicles used for transportation to and from work.

*IRA and 401K personal retirement accounts.

It doesn’t matter how much any of these things are worth-NJ Workability won’t count them as personal assets.

And keep the health benefits you need most:

NJ Workability is a new program that lets you earn much more than ever before-expanding eligibility so you can get or maintain the valuable health benefits that Medicaid provides. Coverage includes medications, durable medical equipment, outpatient counseling, medical transportation, personal care services and all the other medical and healthcare services.

And because NJ Workability is a permanent, state and federally funded program, you can depend on it. As long as you’re eligible, you don’t have to worry that your benefits will be suddenly or unexpectedly cancelled.

Who is eligible?

The qualifications for NJ Workability are fairly simple. Basically, the program is open to all New Jersey residents who:

*Are between the ages of 16 and 64.

*Have a permanent physical or mental disability.

*Are employed either full or part-time.

Get Help paying your Medicare Costs: Programs for Medicare Beneficiaries with limited income and assets 2016.

If you are living on a low income and have limited resources,* you can start saving money right now on your Medicare costs.

Through a Low Income Subsidy (sometimes called “Extra Help”) you can save an average of $300 a month in Medicare Part D prescription costs and through a Medicare Savings Program, you can save more than $100 a month in Medicare Part B premiums.

New Jersey offers three types of Medicare Savings Programs based on your income and assets:

*Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB).

*Specified Low-income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB)

*Qualified Individual-1 (QI-1)

*Your home and one vehicle are not counted as assets.

All individuals enrolled in a Medicare Saving Program get the program to pay their Part B premium. Individuals on QMB also save money on Medicare deductibles and coinsurance.

You may save an average of $300 a month with a Low Income Subsidy.

The average monthly premium for a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan is $34.10. In addition, each time a Medicare Part D  beneficiary goes to the pharmacy they must pay their co-payment and in the donut hole, about half the cost of their medication.

Individuals enrolled in a Low Income Subsidy (LIS) get the program to pay their Part D premium, lower their co-payment amounts and avoid the donut hole. People on LIS also pay no Medicare Part D late enrollment penalty.

*Make sure you are eating well, getting enough rest, physical activity and emotional support.

*See your health care provider regularly.
