Regulation Authority:

Chapters 40-6 and 40-8 of the Rhode Island General Laws
as amended; Title XIX of the Social Security Act

Purpose and Reason:

Certain Medicaid income and resource standards are adjusted annually in accordance with changes in the SSI federal benefit rate (FBR) and the Consumer Price Index (CPI). These include some of the standards described in section 1924 of the Social Security Act (the Act), which describes the financial eligibility rules (the “spousal impoverishment rules”) that apply when married individuals seek coverage of certain long-term services and supports.  Each January, updates must be made to the SSI benefits in order to reflect the annual COLA adjustments.  

 Amendments:

These amendments reflect the 2022 COLA updates that are in effect January 1, 2022.   

Brief statement of Reason for Finding Imminent Peril:

This update must be in place by January 1, 2022 in order to ensure that all Medicaid recipients receive proper benefits.

INACTIVE RULE Amendment - effective from 03/02/2018 to 01/08/2019
