Alert: All Families Needing to Renew RIte Care Coverage Can Act Now
|
|
From now until the end of this year, 42,000 families - including around 80,000 children - need to renew their RIte Care coverage. These are families whose last RIte Care renewal occurred in 2013. They need to renew through a new system and provide all information as if this were a new application.
All families needing to renew are now able to act now, and don't need to wait for a renewal notice from the state. Help encourage families to renew now by sharing our NEW bilingual flyer (English & Spanish). To order free color copies, please email [email protected].
Please note that renewal deadlines are still in effect - each month, families will receive a renewal notice from the state informing them of their deadline. Families must meet this deadline to avoid losing their health coverage. Families with an August deadline must renew now!
For more information on this renewal process, please click here.

New Resource: Help for Working & Unemployed Families
|
Many working and unemployed families in Rhode Island are eligible for services and benefits to help support their families. Programs such as health insurance (RIte Care), child care subsidies, tax credits (EITC), nutrition assistance (SNAP and WIC), and cash assistance (RI Works) are available to families with low or moderate incomes.
Rhode Island KIDS COUNT has released a new resource in English and Spanish, to help working and unemployed Rhode Island families learn about these services and benefits. If you would like hard copies of the publications, please email [email protected].
