Purpose and Reason:
Effective 7/1/23, as part of the FY2024 Budget
as enacted, the RI legislature directed EOHHS to raise the state supplemental
payment for personal needs allowance for institutionalized individuals from
twenty dollars ($20.00) to forty-five dollars ($45.00). This raises the
total personal needs allowance for institutionalized individuals (state and
federal) from fifty dollars ($50.00) to seventy-five dollars ($75.00).
EOHHS is also updating regulatory
language to replace dollar values with definitions and publishing
information for the following: Monthly
Federal Benefit Rates (FBR), Optional State Supplement Payment (SSP)
Limits, Student Earned Income Exclusion (SEIE), Minimum and Maximum
Monthly Maintenance of Need Allowance, Community Spouse Monthly Housing
Allowance, Minimum and Maximum Community Spouse Resources, and
the Minimum Home Equity Limit.
Finally, EOHHS
is providing updated amounts that better reflect current costs of receiving
services at private nursing facilities, intermediate care facilities, and
long-term care hospitals.
