 (from Ch. 23, par. 4-9)Sec. 4-9. Protective payment to substitute payee. If the parent or other  grantee relative persistently mismanages the grant to the detriment of the  child and the family but there is reason to believe that, with specialized  counseling and guidance services, the parent or relative may develop  ability to manage the funds properly, the County Department, in accordance  with the rules and regulations of the Illinois Department, may designate a  person who is interested in or concerned with the welfare of the child and  its family to receive the aid payment on behalf of the family.  The County  Department may designate private welfare or social service agencies to  serve as substitute payees in appropriate cases.The substitute payee shall serve without compensation and assume the  obligation of seeing that the aid payment is expended for the benefit of  the child and the family.  He may spend the grant for the family, or  supervise the parent or other relative in the use of the grant, depending  upon the circumstances in each case, and shall make monthly reports to  the County Department as the County Department and the Illinois Department  may require.The County Department shall terminate the protective payment when it is  no longer necessary to assure that the grant is being used for the welfare  of the child and family, or when the parent or other relative is no  longer receiving and no longer requires treatment for substance use disorders, mental health services, or other special care or treatment.A substitute payee may be removed, in accordance with the rules and  regulations of the Illinois Department, for unsatisfactory service. The  removal may be effected without hearing.  The decision shall not be  appealable to the Illinois Department nor shall it be reviewable in the courts.The County Department shall conduct periodic reviews as may be  required by the Illinois Department to determine whether there is a  continuing need for a protective payment.  If it appears that the need for  the payment is likely to continue beyond a reasonable period,  the County Department shall take one of the other actions set out in  Section 4-8.The parent or other relative shall be advised, in advance of a  determination to make a protective payment, that he may appeal the decision  to the Illinois Department under the provisions of Section 11-8 of Article  XI.

Sec. 4-22.

If the individual indicates that he or she is the victim of domestic or sexual  violence and indicates a need to address domestic or sexual violence issues in order to  reach self-sufficiency, the plan shall take this factor into account in  determining the work, education, and training activities suitable to the client  for achieving self-sufficiency.  In addition, in such a case, specific steps  needed to directly address the domestic or sexual violence issues may also be made part  of the plan, including referral to an available domestic or sexual violence program.

The curriculum shall be designed to better equip those  employees to identify  and serve domestic violence victims.  The Illinois Department may enter into a contract for the development of the  curriculum with one or more organizations providing  services to domestic violence victims.  The Illinois Department shall adopt  rules necessary to implement this subsection.  (Source: P.A. 96-866, eff. 7-1-10.)

It is the purpose of this Article to  provide a program of essential  medical care and rehabilitative services for persons receiving basic  maintenance grants under this Code and for other persons who are unable,  because of inadequate resources, to meet their essential medical needs.Preservation of health, alleviation of sickness, and correction of  disabling conditions for persons requiring maintenance support are  essential if they are to have an opportunity to become self-supporting or  to attain a greater capacity for self-care.

Sec. 5-1.4. Moratorium on eligibility expansions. Beginning on January 25, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act 96-1501), there shall be a 4-year moratorium on the expansion of eligibility through increasing financial eligibility standards, or through increasing income disregards, or through the creation of new programs which would add new categories of eligible individuals under the medical assistance program in addition to those categories covered on January 1, 2011 or above the level of any subsequent reduction in eligibility.

If the State of Illinois finds that the State has borne a cost related to such an expansion, the unit of local government shall reimburse the State. All federal funds associated with an expansion funded by a unit of local government shall be returned to the local government entity funding the expansion, pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement between the Department of Healthcare and Family Services and the local government entity. Within 10 calendar days of the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, the Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall formally advise the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services  of the passage of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.

This paragraph shall not restrict any determination of medical need or appropriateness for any particular service and shall not require continued coverage of any particular service that may be no longer necessary, appropriate, or otherwise authorized for an individual. Nothing shall prevent the Department from determining and properly establishing an individual's eligibility under a different category of eligibility.
