1. Parents/Caretaker Relatives. The defining characteristic of this coverage group is a relationship with a child up to the age of eighteen (18), or the age of nineteen (19) if enrolled in school full-time, who is eligible for Medicaid. Parent/caretaker eligibility is a function of how the eligible child is claimed for tax purposes as a dependent when constructing a MAGI household. This coverage group includes: a. Parents/caretaker relatives who are eligible under the Medicaid State Plan through the authority provided by § 1931 with income up to the threshold described in the table at § 1.6(B) of this Part. b. Other parents/caretaker relatives with income up to the threshold described in the table at § 1.6(B) of this Part. c. Parents/caretakers with income from one hundred thirty-three percent (133%) to one hundred seventy-five percent (175%) of the FPL, not including the five percent (5%) disregard, who would have been eligible for Medicaid on December 31, 2013, may qualify for the Rhode Island Affordable Health Care Coverage Assistance Program. Parents/caretakers eligible for this program may obtain a State subsidized “silver” commercial plan through the Rhode Island’s health insurance marketplace as specified in Subchapter 10 Part 1 of this Chapter. The State’s integrated eligibility system automatically evaluates the parents/caretakers of Medicaid-eligible children for this Program if they do not qualify for coverage under this Part. 2.

The coverage group includes all pregnant people with income up to the threshold described in the table at § 1.6(B) of this Part. Retroactive medical coverage is available for up to ninety (90) days prior to the eligibility date for otherwise eligible pregnant people. a. Pregnant people are eligible for coverage through Medicaid if they meet Medicaid requirements for citizenship and immigration (described in further detail below at § 1.7 of this Part) and either: 1. Have income under 190% FPL; or 2. Have income under 253% FPL and also have third-party liability insurance. b. Pregnant people are eligible for coverage through CHIP if they: 1. Meet Medicaid citizenship and immigration requirements (see § 1.7 of this Part) have income between 190 and 253% FPL, and do not have third party liability insurance; or
