I have a friend that needs to go on Medicaid. He’s eligible for a Qualified Income Plan in NJ. Do I need to pay for an advocate?

He needs to go to your local Social Services in your county and apply. They will need proof of income and statements of bank accts. and proof of CDs, IRAs etc.

This is just for health insurance. Medicaid for LTC is a little different if he is not able to apply himself.

You don't need to pay anyone to do that. The friend qualifies on both the income and resources limits?
