Public Comment Dates 05/14/2025 to 06/13/2025

Regulation Authority:

R.I. Gen. Laws § 40-8.4-12; Section 1906 of Title XIX of the Social Security Act

Purpose and Reason:

EOHHS is revising regulation to remove the incorrect Parent/Caretaker income threshold.  The agency incorrectly implemented a threshold of 136% FPL (141% with the 5% disregard) for which the agency does not have authority. 

 Additionally, EOHHS is revising and restructuring the regulation for clarity and to more accurately reflect RIte Share Program operations.  Such revisions include the removal of language describing how the RIte Share program navigates employer sponsored insurance (ESI) of a non-custodial parent, as this policy is no longer in effect, and addition of insurance brokers and carriers as accessible sources of information regarding ESI.
