April 2012, the income eligibility limits for government assistance programs changed because of an update to the Federal Poverty Level.  The slight increase in eligibility limits may allow more families to be eligible for assistance from programs such as RIte Care Health Insurance, Child Care Assistance and Medicaid.

 

Our Guide to Assistance has been updated to reflect these changes. You can also access an updated eligibility chart for public assistance programs by income limit.
