Wellness Programs

NJ Well is available to both active employees and a covered spouse or partner.

Each can earn a $250 reward for completing a biometric screening, health assessment and other wellness activities.

The initial program for Garden State Health Plan members will run from 7/1/22 to 10/31/22. You must earn 800 points to receive a reward. You are required to complete a biometric screening (100 points) and health assessment (100 points) then other health and wellness activities.

The NJ Well program will then restart 11/1/22 to align with the broader SEHBP NJ Well Program. Check back for updates.

Log on to the Aetna Member website to complete wellness activities and get a reward.

• On you home page select Health & Wellness then Discover a Healthier You or under Member Resources select Wellbeing Resources.

Pay no monthly premium when you enroll in the Retiree Wellness Program.

Agreements between the State of New Jersey and bargaining organizations representing State employees require certain State Medicare retirees who attained 25 years of service after June 30, 2007, and before June 28, 2011, or who retired on a disability retirement on or after August 1, 2007, and before June 28, 2011, to pay a health contribution of 1.5% of the retirement benefit unless the retired member is enrolled in the Retiree Wellness Program. Participation in the Retiree Wellness Program results in the waiver of the required health contribution.
