Section 112.251  Payment Levels

a)         The Payment Levels are flat, monthly standard amounts.  The TANF Payment Levels are indexed annually so that the maximum TANF Payment Level for each family size is no less than 35% of the most current Federal Poverty Level (FPL).  The amount for an assistance unit is based on two variables:

1)         the number in the assistance unit; and

2)         the presence or absence of an adult in the assistance unit.

b)         The TANF Payment Levels shall be apportioned so that 75% of the grant will be designated for the child or children of the assistance unit and 25% shall be designated for the adult member or members of the assistance unit.

c)         TANF Payment Levels for all counties can be found at: https://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=138862.
