        Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that  persons  who       
   fail to qualify for basic maintenance under the AABD program under the      
   Code on the basis of need because of excess income or assets, or both,      
   may  establish  prospective  eligibility for that basic maintenance by      
   prepaying their monthly Medicaid spend-down amount to  the  Department      
   of  Public  Aid  or  by  having  a  third party pay that amount to the      
   Department. Effective immediately.                                          
          FISCAL NOTE (Illinois Department of Public Aid)                      
          The Department estimates that this legislation would result in       
          an additional $1,050,000 in administrative costs to the Depart-      
          ment as follows. Information systems re-programming would cost       
          DPA an estimated $450,000. Additional staff would be required;       
          the Department estimates that if ten new staff were needed to        
          process the payments made to meet spenddown and post Medicaid        
          eligibility to the computer system, then the additional cost         
          for staff, equipment, space, etc. would be approximately             
          $600,000.
