State ACLU Sues Again Over UHIP

(Providence, RI)--The Rhode Island American Civil Liberties Union is filing another lawsuit related to the state's public benefits management system, UHIP.The ACLU says a Woonsocket woman who is a SNAP recipient was asked by the state Department of Human Services to re-pay over-payments from years previous, but that the state did not provide an adequate explanation in the notice it sent.The civil rights group also claims in the suit that it's highly probable the data used to determine alleged overpayments is erroneous, citing long-standing issues with UHIP that have been the subject of previous ACLU suits.
