DESCRIPTION
A program which was established by legislation to provide financial assistance for families whose children, aged 21 or younger, have experienced an illness or condition which is not otherwise covered by insurance, state or federal programs, or other sources. It is administered by the Catastrophic Illness in Children Relief Fund Commission, and is intended to assist in preserving a family's ability to cope with the overwhelming financial responsibilities which accompany a child's significant health problems. The Fund is collected from an annual surcharge levied on all employers who are subject to the New Jersey Unemployment Compensation Law.
