Non-citizens,               including               all               persons               residing               in               the               United               States               who               are               legal               permanent               residents,               asylees,               refugees,               or               temporary               residents,               as               well               as               undocumented               immigrants,               are               over-represented               in               the               uninsured               population               in               the               United               States               and               are               more               likely               to               face               health               disparities.

Non-citizens               comprise               seven               percent               of               the               general               population               but               are               21               percent               of               the               uninsured               in               the               United               States.

Weathers               found               in               her               study               of               the               impact               of               immigration               status               on               health               access               that               there               was               a               positive               relationship               between               lack               of               citizenship               and               poor               access               to               health               care.

That               is,               non-citizen               children               were               less               likely               to               be               able               to               access               care.

Similarly,               Guendelman               found               that               "foreign-born               children               in               working               poor               families               had               lower               access               and               health               care               use               than               did               their               U.S.-born               counterparts,               uninsured               children               were               worse               off               than               insured               children,               and               uninsured               foreign-born               children               faced               the               worst               access               to               health               care."               In               addition               to               the               challenges               faced               by               all               Americans,               especially               those               in               lower               income               households,               immigrants               face               some               unique               challenges.

Immigrants               are               more               likely               to               work               in               fields               that               do               not               provide               insurance               coverage,               to               face               restrictions               on               their               ability               to               qualify               for               public               insurance               programs,               and               to               live               in               neighborhoods               with               less               access               to               medical               services.

Immigrants               in               New               Jersey               are               more               likely               to               be               without               health               insurance               than               the               native-born               population.

While               12.9               percent               of               the               total               native-born               population               in               the               State               is               uninsured,               35               percent               of               foreign-born               residents               are               uninsured.

In               New               Jersey,               11               percent               of               children               are               uninsured.

In               2004,               approximately               51,835               children               were               enrolled               in               the               NJ               SCHIP               program               (approximately               2.3               percent               of               the               population):               of               these               51,835               children,               24.5               percent               were               identified               as               white,               49.9               percent               as               black,               and               10.2               percent               Asian.

Twenty-seven               percent               resided               in               households               whose               income               was               below               the               federal               poverty               level,               and               66.1               percent               were               at               133               percent               or               higher               of               the               federal               poverty               level.
               The               SCHIP               Program               in               New               Jersey               is               administered               through               the               NJ               FamilyCare               program.

It               covers               health               services               for               children               including               regular               doctor               visits,               hospital               costs,               prescriptions,               and               dental               care.

New               Jersey               FamilyCare               is               available               to               "qualified               immigrants,"               including               permanent               residents,               refugees,               asylees,               and               immigrants               in               a               number               of               other               categories.
               Immigrants               do               not               have               to               wait               five               years               after               arriving               to               the               United               States               to               be               eligible               for               FamilyCare               in               New               Jersey.

The               original               authorization               for               SCHIP               required               that               legal               permanent               residents               not               be               eligible               for               Medicaid               or               SCHIP               for               their               first               five               years               in               the               United               States;               however,               New               Jersey               and               over               20               other               states               use               state               funding               to               extend               SCHIP               benefits               to               this               category               of               immigrants.
