inconsistent provision of law or regulation, the commissioner of health

shall, as soon as practicable, establish an automated system to ensure

that persons who meet the criteria for receipt of medical assistance

hundred sixty-six of this title shall remain enrolled in the medical

assistance program without interruption and receive the benefits set

measures they must take to ensure that medical assistance benefits are

provided to persons eligible for such benefits under subdivision four of
