flag New Jersey forgives $86M in medical debt for 53,000 residents via nonprofit partnership.

flag Over 53,000 New Jersey residents are receiving relief as about $86 million in medical debt is being forgiven through a state partnership with the nonprofit Undue Medical Debt. flag The program targets individuals with household incomes at or below 400% of the federal poverty level—around $62,600 for a single person—or those with medical debt equal to 5% or more of their annual income. flag The initiative, now eliminating nearly $1.4 billion in debt for over 828,000 residents since launch, aims to reduce financial strain, encourage timely medical care, and improve health outcomes. flag Officials stress that affordable healthcare helps people access treatment without sacrificing basic needs.
