RE:	CommonHealth for Certain Institutionalized Immigrant Children

This letter transmits revised regulations that reinstate state-funded CommonHealth benefits for certain institutionalized immigrant children who were inadvertently excluded from coverage when Health Care Reform was implemented on July 1, 1997.  Most of these children are legal permanent residents subject to the five-year bar.

These emergency regulations are effective June 14, 2002.
