| Rhode Island Cuts Red Tape |
|
The process of applying for RIte Care health coverage just got easier for children and families. Starting in November 2011, citizenship status and identity will now be verified electronically, using an approved data matching system with the Social Security Administration. This means that additional hardcopy paper documentation will be required if the system does not find a match. The Rhode Island Department of Human Services will also use the same process to confirm citizenship and identity for Rhode Island Works, SNAP and child care subsidies. |
