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:
'The Executive Office of Health & Human Services (EOHHS) is filing this “emergency” amendment to rule #0370, “SSI-Related Coverage Groups”, in order to incorporate recent changes to the federal Medicaid “2016 SSI & Spousal Impoverishment Standards”, published by the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on November 20, 2015. Section 0370.15.45 has been amended to reflect that there will be no cost of living adjustment (COLA) for beneficiaries in 2016.'
Brief statement of Reason for Finding Imminent Peril:
Because the revised standards were published by CMS on November 20, 2015 and must take effect on January 1, 2016, EOHHS is filing on an “emergency” basis to accommodate this compressed time line.
