Enacts provisions relating to the eligibility of aliens for medical assistance and relating to state reimbursement of certain medical assistance and family health plus costs incurred on behalf of certain aliens: removes limitation regarding medical assistance for certain otherwise eligible aliens (said current limitation limits medical assistance to care and treatment, not including care and services related to an organ transplant procedure, necessary for treatment of emergency medical condition); removes reference to medical assistance in provisions relating to the availability of the income and resources of a sponsor of an alien (and the spouse of such a sponsor) for the purposes of determining the eligibility of the alien for medical assistance, and in provisions relating to requests by local social services districts for reimbursement by such sponsors for medical assistance paid to or on behalf of an alien; and provides for reimbursement by the state to social services districts of the full amount expended on behalf of eligible aliens for medical assistance and for family care plus in which there is no federal financial participation; also amends provisions relating to eligibility for medical assistance and family care plus to the effect that unavailability of federal financial participation due to the operation of title IV of the personal responsibility and work opportunity reconciliation act shall not preclude eligibility.
