Consent, payment and permit for an Edison ramp
If you rent and expect NJ FamilyCare to help pay, that consent becomes a program requirement rather than a courtesy. Its residential modification benefit covers ramps up to a $15,000 lifetime limit through a provider the member's managed care organization has approved, and for a home the member does not own, the owner must approve in writing. Get that letter first; the permit application to the Edison construction office comes after.
Who owns the entry
It may belong to a landlord, a condominium association or you. Whoever it is signs before a contractor starts.
Whether a program is paying
NJ FamilyCare requires its own approved provider and written owner consent for a rented home. Line up both before comparing quotes.
The permit for a new ramp
A new ramp is not on the state code's maintenance or minor work lists, so the Edison construction office treats it as permit work.

The NJ Department of Human Services Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services Housing Supports Services Dictionary defines Residential Modifications and Remediation Services as physical adaptations to a member's private, primary residence required by the plan of care, including ramps and grab bars, widening of doorways and modifications of bathrooms. The service is limited to $15,000 lifetime, excludes modifications of general utility, excludes public areas of communities governed by a homeowner association, and requires the provider to be approved and credentialed by the member's managed care organization. For a home not owned by the member, the owner must approve in writing.

What wheelchair ramps involves in Edison
Whose Edison entry is it?
Before anyone measures an Edison entry, find out whose entry it is. Only 60.6 percent of the township's occupied homes are owner-occupied, and just 49.3 percent of its housing is single-family detached, so a large share of the people who need a ramp here are renting, or living in a townhouse or apartment where the outside belongs to someone else. A ramp is permanent work, and permission for it has to come before a quote is worth having.
Renting in Edison and need a ramp?
Tell us who owns the building and where the steps are. We will say what consent to get before a contractor comes out.
Edison ramp questions for owners and tenants
My landlord in Edison is open to a ramp. What should the letter say?
That the owner approves a permanent ramp at a named entrance and allows the permit to be filed. If NJ FamilyCare is paying, the program requires the owner's written approval for a home the member does not own, so ask the care manager whether it has its own form.
Who files the ramp permit for a rented Edison home?
The contractor, with the owner's knowledge. The application goes to the Edison construction office and carries the contractor's registration number, and New Jersey rules say work should not start until the permits are issued.
Start with the entrance and the owner
Which door, how many steps and who owns it. We will line up a registered Edison contractor once the consent is sorted.
