Under the provisions, majority of noncitizens who were receiving Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid on the day the reconciliation law was enacted will continue to receive such benefits. However, the provisions for legal aliens who came on Aug 22, 1996 and thereafter became disabled are still debatable.
