Prescription medications can be expensive, but assistance programs are available to help eligible New Jersey residents reduce medication costs. Through NJ SAVE, older adults and individuals with disabilities may qualify for programs that help pay for prescription medications and other important benefits.

Navigators are available in Middlesex County to assist residents with completing the NJ SAVE application and determining eligibility. If you or a loved one needs help paying for prescriptions, don't hesitate to explore these valuable resources.
