Rhode Island’s LTSS applicant resource limit is $4,000
Rhode Island’s active Medicaid LTSS financial-eligibility rule sets a $4,000 resource limit for Medicaid LTSS eligibility, except for the specified ACA expansion-adult treatment.

For a married household with one LTSS spouse, it requires the state to total countable resources, allocate the community spouse’s share, apply the Community Spouse Resource Standard, and then compare the LTSS spouse’s remaining resources with the $4,000 standard. It also provides a 90-day period, subject to stated extensions, for transferring resources into the non-LTSS spouse’s name after eligibility is determined Rhode Island active LTSS financial-eligibility rule.
