Section 210-RICR-30-05-3.16 - Renewal of RI Works ParticipantsA. At the time eligibility renewals are completed, EOHHS is responsible for assessing whether RI Works participants are subject to enroll in a RIte Share-approved plan as a condition of continuing Medicaid eligibility. 1. Employed under six (6) months - Only those RI Works participants, age nineteen (19) or older, who have access to ESI and have been steadily employed for a period of six (6) consecutive months or more, shall be subject to enrollment in RIte Share. All other RI Works participants continue enrollment in the Medicaid managed care plan which provided coverage until the next scheduled redetermination of eligibility.2. Employed six (6) months or over - If the RI Works participant has been employed for over six (6) months, the notice of renewal sent by EOHHS must state that enrollment in the Medicaid managed care plan that provided coverage during the previous period of eligibility is continued, pending review of the ESI plan by the RIte Share Unit. If enrollment in an approved ESI plan is a condition of retaining continuing eligibility, Medicaid beneficiaries shall receive notice from the RIte Share Unit at least fourteen (14) days prior to enrollment in an ESI plan.210 R.I.
