Section 119.30  Low  Income Subsidy

a)         To be eligible for Illinois Cares Rx, except for Illinois Cares Rx Rebate, Medicare-eligible enrollees must apply for all available subsidies under Medicare Part D.  The Department may deem individuals to be compliant with this requirement in cases where the Department's data clearly indicate the individual would not be eligible for any low-income subsidy (LIS) as described in 89 Ill. Adm. Code 127.

b)         Eligibility of individuals who do not apply for LIS, except in cases where Department data clearly indicate the individual would not be eligible for any LIS, may be terminated at the end of the month following the month in which written notice of termination was given to the individual.

c)         If the beneficiary provides proof of application for LIS prior to the scheduled termination date, eligibility will not be terminated.
