The decision to suspend enrollment was made by the federal government.  NJ Protect is a new health insurance option for uninsured New Jerseyans with pre-existing medical conditions.

The program is considered a temporary measure to get patients coverage until next year.  New Jersey residents covered by NJ Protect are not affected by the enrollment suspension.
