This document announces the effective date of the final rule published on Nov. 21, 2000 at 65 FR 70133.
This final rule delays from Feb. 27, 2002 until Oct. 1, 2002 the implementation date of the final rule entitled Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children: Food Delivery Systems, which was published in the Federal Register on Dec. 29, 2000, 65 FR 83248, and became effective on April 28, 2001.
The purpose of this policy memorandum is to advise that the Medicaid Program will be the primary payor for WIC-eligible exempt infant formulas and medical foods issued to WIC participants who are also Medicaid beneficiaries.
This proposed rule would delay the implementation date of the final rule entitled Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children: Food Delivery Systems, published in the Federal Register on Dec. 29, 2000, 65 FR 83248, which became effective on April 28, 2001 and has an implementation date of Feb. 27, 2002.
