§ 366-h. Automated system; established. Notwithstanding any
inconsistent provision of law or regulation, the commissioner of health
shall, as soon as practicable, establish an automated system to ensure
that persons who meet the criteria for receipt of medical assistance
benefits under paragraph (a) or (c) of subdivision four of section three
hundred sixty-six of this title shall remain enrolled in the medical
assistance program without interruption and receive the benefits set
forth according to paragraph (a) or (c) of subdivision four of section
three hundred sixty-six of this title. Pending implementation of such
automated system, such commissioner shall, in consultation with the
office of temporary and disability assistance, undertake and continue
efforts to educate local departments of social services about the
measures they must take to ensure that medical assistance benefits are
provided to persons eligible for such benefits under subdivision four of
section three hundred sixty-six of this title.
