Congratulations to Amy Mansue, who will retire as President and CEO of Inspira Health at the end of this year.

Amy served our State as Deputy Chief of Staff with integrity, judgment, and grace. She then served as Deputy Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Human Services, CEO of Children's Specialized Hospital, the nation's largest inpatient pediatric rehabilitation hospital, and Executive Vice President at RWJBarnabas Health before leading Inspira since 2020.

Under her leadership, Inspira built the flagship hospital in Mullica Hill and expanded care across Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem counties. South Jersey families will benefit from her work for generations.

Amy continues to serve New Jersey as lead director of the Middlesex Water Company board, audit chair of the Rutgers University Board of Governors, and a member of the New Jersey Resources and New Jersey Hospital Association boards.

Thank you, Amy, for a lifetime of service to our State. I am grateful for your decency, friendship, and extraordinary work ethic. I wish you every happiness in this next chapter. Blessings.

Grateful to PIX11's Monica Morales and the Monica Makes It Happen team for spotlighting the JPMorgan Chase/NJRC Expungement and Second Chance Clinic at the New Jersey Reentry Corporation in Kearny, a partnership with JPMorgan Chase that is clearing eligible criminal records and opening doors to employment, housing, and economic opportunity.

Past misdeeds, past errors, should not be a life sentence. For the men and women we serve, expungement is often the difference between an application denied and a career begun. NJRC's legal services team has helped resolve more than 3,590 outstanding warrants, secured 837 expungements, and relieved over $6.7 million in bail and fines, each one a barrier removed and a future restored.

Thank you to Waheera Marda and Melissa Prashad of J.P. Morgan Chase for their commitment to Second Chance opportunity, to Damon Watson, who leads NJRC's legal services with skill and devotion, and most of all to Montrell Vinson for the courage to share his story. His journey is why this work matters.

Everyone deserves the dignity of a Second Chance. Watch the segment at PIX11.

H.R. 1 Navigation: Medicaid Enrollment & Work Requirements

Major changes to Medicaid are approaching, and preparation starts now.
Beginning July 31, 2026, New Jersey will begin notifying eligible Medicaid enrollees who may be subject to the new federal work requirement under H.R. 1. While the statewide implementation begins January 1, 2027, now is the time to understand what these changes mean and determine whether you qualify through work, education, community service, income, or an exemption.

At the New Jersey Reentry Corporation, we know that navigating government programs can be overwhelming. Our team is committed to helping individuals understand the new requirements, maintain their healthcare coverage, and connect with employment, education, training, and supportive services that promote long-term stability.
If you have questions about Medicaid enrollment or the upcoming work requirement, visit any NJRC site. We are here to help you navigate the process every step of the way.

Calling All Passaic County Community Partners and Service Providers

NJRC is hosting an H.R. 1 “Know Your Rights” Informational Session for healthcare providers, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, workforce partners, and community leaders who serve Passaic County residents.

Thursday, November 5, 2026 | 9:30 a.m.
Paterson Free Public Library, 250 Broadway, Paterson, NJ

SNAP changes are already in effect, and new Medicaid work requirements begin in January 2027. The New Jersey Department of Human Services projects approximately 330,000 residents could lose Medicaid coverage, most often because of a missed deadline or incomplete paperwork, not because they are ineligible. Many of those losses are preventable if the organizations' residents already trust know the rules and act early.

Participants will learn how the work requirements operate, who qualifies for an exemption, what documentation residents need, and how to prevent an interruption in benefits before it happens.

Attendance is the first step. We invite every organization in the room to build lasting partnerships with NJRC and one another through coordinated referrals, volunteer opportunities, workforce pathways, and shared resources, so no eligible resident falls through the cracks.

NJRC thanks Turning Point, Inc., the Paterson Free Public Library, and the The National Action Network for their partnership.

Registration is required. Scan the QR code on the flyer to register.

Today it was an honor to meet with Executive Director Angela Scheck; President-Elect Glenn Troublefield; General Counsel Sharon Balsamo; Chris Placitella, Esq.; Chris Adams, Esq.; Colonel James Sfayer; and Director of Veterans Correctional Services Sharon McGreevey.

We focused on recruiting lawyers to assist New Jersey's veterans with discharge upgrades; VA benefits appeals; record clearing; and criminal defense. I am grateful to the New Jersey State Bar Association for its engagement in recruiting lawyers to stand with our veterans in their challenges with the VA and in civil matters.

We are particularly indebted to the Sherrill Administration for its support of our veterans. NJRC is working with the Cohen Veterans Network on mental health care and seeking to expand the pool of lawyers serving our veterans. Thank you to Senator Raj Mukherji for his leadership on Veterans Treatment Courts.

This morning I listened to Senator Cory Booker at Metropolitan Baptist Church in Newark, hosted by Reverend Dr. David Jefferson Sr. and First Lady Reverend Linda Jefferson.

The gathering grappled with the defining legal, healthcare, and economic challenges confronting our nation, with an acute focus upon their impact on the Black community.

From access to quality healthcare and legal representation to the pursuit of economic justice and opportunity, the conversation was candid, substantive, and grounded in the lived experience of Newark's families.

I am grateful to Senator Cory Booker for his leadership and to Pastor Jefferson and Metropolitan Baptist Church for convening a dialogue worthy of the moment.

Sylvester, a graduate of the HVAC program at NJRC's Reentry Training & Employment Center in Kearny, completed coursework in ductwork installation, refrigerant handling, sheet metal fabrication, and electrical systems, including three-way switches. He earned his OSHA 30 certification and industry-recognized credentials, and he is now gainfully employed.

NJRC's training program equips participants with the technical skills and industry-recognized credentials employers require.

Sylvester's success reflects the value of Second Chances paired with quality training and employment opportunity. If you or someone you know is ready to begin a career in the skilled trades, we invite you to enroll.

A valid identification card is the first document an employer asks to see. It is required to complete an I-9, open a bank account, sign a lease, fill a prescription, enroll in Medicaid or SNAP, and board a flight. A driver’s license expands the range of jobs a person can accept, particularly in construction, logistics, healthcare, and the trades, where shifts start early and job sites are not served by public transit.

For men and women returning home from incarceration, identification is often lost, expired, or never issued. For veterans in transition, an expired license or registration can stall access to benefits and employment. Without ID, every other step toward stability is delayed.

The New Jersey Reentry Corporation is hosting the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission Mobile Unit at our Elizabeth site to remove that barrier for court-involved individuals, veterans, and active NJRC participants.

Services available on site:
Driver’s license renewals; vehicle registration renewals; non-driver identification cards; examination permit applications; license plate surrender; and placards. REAL ID appointments are limited.

Appointments are required. Scan the QR code on the flyer to register. Please bring the documents required under the MVC’s 6 Points of ID verification. For more information or help scheduling, contact Karlicia Thomas at [email protected] or Robyn Brown at [email protected].

We are grateful to Chief Administrator Rosalie Johnson, New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, and Chris Hillmann of the NJMVC for their leadership in bringing these essential services directly to the NJRC community. Their commitment ensures that returning citizens and veterans can secure the identification they need to work, heal, and rebuild their lives.
