305 ILCS 5/10-2
2021 Illinois Compiled Statutes|Chapter 305 - PUBLIC AID|305 ILCS 5/ - Illinois Public Aid Code.|Article X - Determination And Enforcement Of Support Responsibility Of Relatives

 (from Ch. 23, par. 10-2)Sec. 10-2. Extent of liability. A husband is liable for the support of his  wife and a wife for the support of her husband. Unless the child is otherwise  emancipated, the parents are severally liable for the support of any child  under age 18, and for any child aged 18 who is attending high school, until  that child graduates from high school, or attains the age of 19, whichever is  earlier.  The term "child" includes a child born out of wedlock, or legally  adopted child.The liability for the support of a child provided for in this Article does not require a previous court order for custody and is in conjunction with the guidelines set forth in Section 505 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as provided for in Section 10-10 of this Article. The obligation to support contained in this Article is concurrent to any other appropriate State law.This Article does not create, enlarge, abrogate, or diminish parental rights or duties under other laws of this State, including the common law.An action to establish or enforce a support obligation, under this or any other Act providing for the support of a child, may be brought subsequent to an adjudication dismissing that action based on any of the following reasons: (1) no duty of support exists under this Article because this Article requires a previous court order for custody/allocation of parental responsibilities (as no such requirement exists under this Act); (2) there is no common law duty of support (as a common law duty of support is recognized as a valid basis for child support); or (3) there is no duty of support under the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015 because a judgment of paternity results in a de facto custody/allocation of parental responsibilities order (as this ignores the cumulative nature of the Act and the plain language of the statute permitting an explicit reservation of the issue. The Illinois Parentage Act of 2015 will be clarified regarding a de facto custody/allocation of parental responsibilities order as it relates to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act).In addition to the primary obligation of support imposed upon  responsible relatives, such relatives, if individually or together in any  combination they have sufficient income or other resources to support a  needy person, in whole or in part, shall be liable for any financial aid  extended under this Code to a person for whose support they are  responsible, including amounts expended for funeral and burial costs.

 (from Ch. 23, par. 10-3)Sec. 10-3.     Standard and Regulations for Determining Ability to Support.       The Illinois Department shall establish a standard by which shall be  measured the ability of responsible relatives to provide support, and shall  implement the standard by rules governing its application.  The standard and  the rules shall take into account the buying and consumption patterns of  self-supporting persons of modest income, present or future contingencies  having direct bearing on maintenance of the relative's self-support status  and fulfillment of his obligations to his immediate family, and any unusual  or exceptional circumstances including estrangement or other personal or  social factors, that have a bearing on family relationships and the  relative's ability to meet his support obligations.  The standard shall be  recomputed periodically to reflect changes in the cost of living and other  pertinent factors.In addition to the standard, the Illinois Department may  establish guidelines to be used exclusively to measure the ability of  responsible relatives to provide support on behalf of applicants for or  recipients of financial aid under Article IV of this Act and other persons  who are given access to the child support enforcement  services of this  Article as provided in Section 10-1.  In such case, the Illinois Department  shall base the guidelines upon the applicable provisions of Sections 504,  505 and 505.2 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as  amended, and shall implement such guidelines by rules governing  their application.The term "administrative enforcement unit", when used  in this Article, means local governmental units or the Child and Spouse Support  Unit established under Section 10-3.1 when exercising the powers designated in  this Article.  The administrative enforcement unit shall apply the standard  or guidelines, rules and procedures provided for by this Section and Sections  10-4 through 10-8 in determining the ability of responsible relatives to  provide support for applicants for or recipients of financial aid under  this Code, except that the administrative enforcement unit may apply such  standard or guidelines, rules and procedures at its discretion with  respect to those applicants for or recipients of financial aid under  Article IV and other persons who are given access to the child  support enforcement services of this Article as provided by Section 10-1.

 (from Ch. 23, par. 10-3.2)Sec. 10-3.2.     Parent Locator Service.     The Illinois Department through  its Child and Spouse Support Unit shall enter into agreements with the  Secretary  of Health and Human Services or his designee under which the services of  the federal Parent Locator Service established by the Social Security Act  are made available to this State and the Illinois Department for the purpose  of locating an absent parent or child when the child has been abducted or  otherwise improperly removed or retained from the physical custody of a  parent or other person entitled to custody of the child, or in connection  with the making or enforcing of a child custody determination in custody  proceedings instituted under the Uniform  Child Custody Jurisdiction Act or the Uniform Child-Custody Jurisdiction  and Enforcement Act,  or otherwise in accordance with law.  The Illinois Department shall provide general information to the public  about the availability and  use of the Parent Locator Service in relation to child abduction and  custody determination proceedings, shall promptly respond to inquiries made  by those parties specified by federal regulations upon receipt of  information as to the location of an absent parent or child from the  federal Parent Locator Service and shall maintain accurate records as to  the number of such inquiries received and processed by the Department.

The penalty may be collected  in a civil action, which may be brought against the employer, labor  union, cellular telephone company, or telephone company in  favor of the Illinois Department.(b) Upon being served with an administrative subpoena as authorized under  this  Code, a utility  company or cable television company must provide location information to the  Child and Spouse  Support Unit for the purpose of establishing a child's paternity or  establishing, enforcing, or  modifying a child support obligation.(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other State or local law to the  contrary, an  employer, labor union, cellular telephone company, telephone company, utility company, or cable television  company shall  not be liable to any person for disclosure of location information under the  requirements of this  Section, except for willful and wanton misconduct.

It shall inform the relative that he may be liable for  reimbursement of any support furnished from public aid funds prior to  determination of the relative's financial circumstances, as well as for  future support.  In the alternative, when support is sought on  behalf of applicants for or  recipients of financial aid under Article IV of this Code and other persons who  are given access to the child support enforcement services  of this Article as  provided in Section 10-1, the notice shall inform the relative that the  relative may be required to pay support for a period before the date an  administrative support order is entered, as well as future support.Neither the mailing nor receipt of such notice shall be deemed a  jurisdictional requirement for the subsequent exercise of the investigative  procedures undertaken by an administrative enforcement unit or the entry of  any order or determination of paternity or support or reimbursement  by the  administrative enforcement unit; except that notice shall be served by  certified mail addressed to the responsible relative at his or her last  known address, return receipt requested, or by a person who is licensed or registered as a private detective under the Private Detective, Private Alarm, Private Security, Fingerprint Vendor, and Locksmith Act of 2004 or by a registered employee of a private detective agency certified under that Act, or in counties with a population of less than 2,000,000 by any method provided by law  for service of summons, in cases where a determination of paternity or  support by default is sought on  behalf of applicants for or recipients of financial aid under Article IV  of this Act and other persons who are given access to the child  support enforcement services of this Article as provided in Section 10-1.

 (from Ch. 23, par. 10-8)Sec. 10-8.     Support Payments - Partial Support - Full Support.     The  notice to responsible relatives issued pursuant to Section 10-7 shall  direct payment (a) to the Illinois Department in cases of applicants and  recipients under Articles III, IV, V and VII, (b) except as provided in  Section 10-3.1, to the local governmental unit in the case of applicants  and recipients under Article VI, and (c) to the Illinois  Department in cases of non-applicants and non-recipients given access to  the child support enforcement services of this Article, as  provided by  Section 10-1.  However, if the support payments by responsible relatives  are sufficient to meet needs of a recipient in full, including current  and anticipated medical needs, and the Illinois Department or the local  governmental unit, as the case may be, has reasonable grounds to believe  that such needs will continue to be provided in full by the responsible  relatives, the relatives may be directed to make subsequent support  payments to the needy person or to some person or agency in his behalf  and the recipient shall be removed from the rolls.  In such instance the  recipient also shall be notified by registered or certified mail of the  action taken.  If a recipient removed from the rolls requests the  Illinois Department to continue to collect the support payments in his  behalf, the Department, at its option, may do so and pay amounts so  collected to the person.  The Department may provide for deducting any  costs incurred by it in making the collection from the amount of any  recovery made and pay only the net amount to the person.Payments under this Section to the Illinois Department pursuant to the  Child Support Enforcement Program established by Title IV-D of the Social  Security Act shall be paid into the Child Support Enforcement Trust Fund.  All payments under this Section to the Illinois Department of Human  Services shall be deposited in the DHS Recoveries  Trust Fund.  Disbursements from these funds shall be as provided in Sections  12-9.1 and 12-10.2 of this Code.  Payments received by a local  governmental unit shall be deposited in that unit's General Assistance Fund.To the extent the provisions of this Section are inconsistent with the  requirements pertaining to the State Disbursement Unit under Sections 10-10.4  and 10-26 of this Code, the requirements pertaining to the State Disbursement  Unit shall apply.
