The last thing you want to do is take benefits you no longer qualify for due to your increase in income. You could be liable to reimburse the state for that, amongst other things. You should be proactive and reach out when you start your job. You may not qualify anymore but you could possibly qualify for a subsidy to buy insurance on the marketplace, and the loss of Medicaid could be a qualifying event to do so outside of open enrollment.

There currently is still a COVID moratorium in effect from the state prohibiting NJ Familycare from disqualifying anyone based on income change mid-coverage. As of now, the only time they will reassess your status is when they send you a renewal letter next year. You can call them to report your change of income now and they will you tell it does not change your enrollment. My understanding is, once you are enrolled in NJ Familycare you cannot be enrolled in another so you should be set until renewal time.

Edit: for clarity

Unless you work a ton of OT, i believe you should still be eligible even with your income change

Keep the nj family care. When its time to update your paperwork with the state put ur new income in & they may just charge you a monthly fee (which usually isnt much). I think i paid like $70 for family of 5. The amount some employers charge for benefits it’s atrocious. Like half of ur check smh

Will I need to immidiately call nj familycare to cancel it?? Will they allow me to keep nj family care or will they terminate it and force me to use my jobs insurance? Tia

Nah you don't have to I've had NJ horizon medicaid or Medicare I forget which one I'm 30y.o but look you don't have to loose the awesome free health insurance just because you got a job. ✌️
