Glavin v. Rhode Island Department of Human Services, 97-4439 (1998)

DECISION

Before the Court is an administrative appeal filed by plaintiff Isabell G. Glavin (the "applicant") from a decision of the Department of Human Services ("DHS"), dated August 15, 1997, which denied her medical assistance benefits as a medically needy person under R.I. Gen. Laws §§ 8-1 et seq. The applicant contests the agency's finding that her resources included monies in a bank account she held jointly with her children and thereby exceeded the financial eligibility limit. This Court has jurisdiction of this appeal pursuant to R.I. Gen. Laws §42-35-15.
