Regulation Authority:

Title XIX of the Social Security Act
R.I. Gen. Laws § 40-5.2-1 et seq.
RI State Budget FY2025

Purpose and Reason:

The Rhode Island Works Program (R.I. Gen. Laws Chapter 40-5.2-1 et seq.) establishes the legal basis for a welfare to work program to assist needy families to prepare for, accept and retain employment with necessary supports, as quickly as possible, and is the law through which the Federal assistance program, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, is available to families in Rhode Island who meet program eligibility criteria. This Direct Final Amendment is being filed to implement the Legislative changes that were signed by the Governor with the 2025 Rhode Island State Budget and effective July 1st, 2024, as well as clarify and simplify policy language to reduce barriers and provide supports to our families.

The regulatory changes proposed in this filing are identical to the regulatory language currently in effect as of 01/16/2025. The effective version was originally noticed for public comment on 11/26/2024. 

After the end of the public comment period (11/26/24 through 12/26/24), a processing error occurred. As a result of processing error, the agency is repromulgating the regulatory changes (effective as of 01/16/25). The regulatory language included in this notice redlines changes made in the most recent promulgation. The agency is noticing these changes for additional public comment.
