Rhode Island officials announced Monday that the state will continue to work with Deloitte on developing its plagued social services IT system for at least the next three years.
Gov. Daniel McKee, who replaced Gina Raimondo when she became the U.S. commerce secretary in March, said the state will pay the firm $99 million over the next three years to manage and build out the RIBridges computer system. It was formerly known as the United Health Infrastructure Project, or UHIP. The firm has been developing the software, which handles the state’s Medicaid, SNAP and other welfare programs, since 2016, though delays and errors during Raimondo’s administration caused the state to overspend by at least $150 million as of 2019, the last time the state renewed Deloitte’s contract.
