Section 150.21 - Limitation of MA eligibility for IRCA legalized aliens

An alien who has been legalized as an LTR or an LPR under IRCA who does not meet the requirements specified in § 150.1(b)(4) (relating to general policy for MA citizenship and alienage) is restricted to receiving MA payment for an emergency medical condition or pregnancy-related services as defined in § 150.2 (relating to definitions). This restriction applies for 5 years from the date that legalization is granted. At the end of the 5-year period, regular MA coverage is available if the alien meets the financial and nonfinancial requirements of the applicable MA Program.
