Deloitte is giving Rhode Island $5 million to help Deloitte is giving Rhode Island $5 million to help cover expenses related to the RIBridges data breach, Gov. Dan McKee announced Monday. The funding will assist with unexpected costs, including enrolling about 2,000 HealthSource RI customers directly into health coverage for January and February, officials said. In addition to the financial support, Deloitte is covering the cost of the breach’s call center, credit monitoring, and identity protection services for affected residents. “Deloitte has recognized that the state has immediate and unexpected expenses related to the breach, and we appreciate their willingness to lend financial support,” McKee said. HealthSource RI worked with insurers Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island to ensure that impacted individuals received the coverage they needed. Meanwhile, the RIBridges system is being relaunched in phases. Customers can now access the HealthyRhode portal, submit applications, and manage their accounts, according to state officials. The breach, which exposed personal data, has raised concerns about security measures within the system. Officials have not disclosed how many Rhode Islanders were affected or whether Deloitte will face further financial penalties. #ribridges #deloitte #rhodeisland #newportbuzz
The City of Newport has rolled out a new online po The City of Newport has rolled out a new online portal aimed at simplifying the registration process for the city’s roughly 360 short-term rental properties. Powered by GovOS, the system is designed to help property owners register their units more efficiently while giving city officials better tools to enforce existing short-term rental (STR) ordinances. As part of the change, the City Clerk’s Office will no longer handle STR applications. Instead, all registration and enforcement duties will be managed by Newport’s dedicated Short-Term Rental Office. Over the next several weeks, property owners with existing Transient Guest Facility Certificates will receive registration instructions by mail, including account activation codes. A second mailing is planned for March. Owners with questions can reach city staff via email at str@cityofnewport.com. Once registered, property owners will have access to a paperless certification process and a dedicated Business Center with support agents available daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The portal is accessible at www.CityofNewport.com/STRportal or https://newportri.munirevs.com. For additional assistance, property owners can contact the GovOS help desk at 888-751-1911 or blt.str.support@govos.com. City officials are reminding owners that all short-term rentals must be registered with both the State of Rhode Island and the City of Newport. In Newport, Transient Guest House Applications must be completed online by May 31 each year. For more information on short-term rental regulations, visit www.CityofNewport.com/STR. #newportri #realestate #newportbuzz
