This amount is being reimbursed to Weld County Health Department for costs of public health services provided to Eligible Legalized Aliens (ELAs) during the time period of October 1, 1990 through September 30, 1992. The Immigration reform and Control Act of 1986 legalized many formerly undocumented workers. This Act also provided for "State Legalization Impact Assistance Grants"(SLIAG) to states to alleviate some of the financial impact to state and local governments by reimbursing some of the costs of public health services to ELA's. The amount of $33,228 was determined by a formula based on Weld County's ELA population and the costs of providing services. Since this is a retroactive reimbursement with Federal funds, there is no Amendment 1 impact. Also, there are no restrictions on the use of these funds. I recommend approval of this contract. 940286 Hello
