Could you explain the 60 day rule?

If a patient is discharged from an SNF after 22 days of coverage and then is hospitalilzed before 60 days are up, and they are admitted to an SNF again from this hospital stay and 60 days have passed since their original discharge from the SNF can they be picked back up under Medicare Part A for SNF (did have 3 day hospital stay)
SNF 3/11-4/01/08 and discharged home
Admitted to hospital 5/15/08
Admit to SNF 6/03/08 from the hospital
