210 R.I. Code R. 210-RICR-40-05-1.2 - Authority

Legal authority for the IHCC groups is established in R.I. Gen. Laws, the Medicaid State Plan, the State's §1115 demonstration waiver and various provisions of Title XIX of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1396 - 1396w - 7 and Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.). State law establishing the IHCC group that expands eligibility to low-income elders and adults with disabilities (referred hereinafter as "EAD") with income up to and including one hundred percent (100%) of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) is located in R.I. Gen. Laws Chapter 40-8.5. Many of the core eligibility requirements associated with this group, including those pertaining to MN eligibility, pre-date both this law's enactment and federal approval of the State's §1115 waiver as extended in 2014 and, are dispersed in various other provisions of R.I. Gen. Laws Chapter 40-8 rather than in a single statute.
