States that funds provided to States under this Act for such aliens shall be available only for the cost of providing: (1) cash assistance for individuals who are not eligible under the Aid to Families with Dependent Children, or the Supplemental Security Income programs of the Social Security Act; and (2) medical assistance for individuals who are not eligible for such assistance under a State Medicaid program.
