§ 38a:3-49.
The Department of Military and Veterans’ Affairs shall establish a program to provide
assistance to qualified veterans in in-patient and out-patient treatment programs
to travel to attend medical counseling appointments for service-connected conditions
approved and authorized by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs within
this State. The department shall: a. develop, in cooperation with the New Jersey Transit Corporation and the United
States Department of Veterans Affairs, a program to provide reimbursement, subject
to available State or federal funding, to qualified veterans who spend their own funds
to travel on public transportation to and from medical counseling appointments for
service-connected conditions within the State using any motor bus or rail passenger
service conducted by the corporation when the veteran is not otherwise eligible for
payment for travel or reimbursement by means of any existing State or federal program; b. develop, in cooperation with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs,
a program to provide reimbursement to qualified veterans who spend their own funds
to travel using private transportation to and from medical counseling appointments
for service-connected conditions within the State by reimbursing on a per mile basis
their operation of a privately-owned conveyance when that veteran is not otherwise
eligible for payment for travel or reimbursement by means of any existing State or
federal program, provided that the qualified veteran shall not use a for-hire private
entity that charges for transportation unless such transportation is necessary for
the qualified veteran due to a service-connected injury or disability for which the
veteran has a certified rating provided by the United States Department of Veterans
Affairs which prevents or hinders his or her ability to operate a privately-owned
conveyance; c. develop, in coordination with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs,
a system for monitoring veterans who have applied for reimbursement; d. notify the general public and eligible veterans that the program established by
this section is available to qualified veterans; and e. adopt such rules and regulations as may be necessary to effectuate the purposes
of this act.
