Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that the 2-year moratorium on eligibility expansions does not apply to expansions approved by the federal government that are financed entirely by units of local government and federal matching funds. Regarding classes of persons eligible under the Medical Assistance Program, deletes provisions extending eligibility to persons who are under age 21 and would qualify as disabled as defined under the Federal SSI Program, under certain conditions. Regarding eligibility under the Family Care program, provides that on and after July 1, 2012 (rather than through December 31, 2013), eligibility shall extend to a caretaker relative who is 19 years of age or older when countable income is at or below 133% (rather than 185%) of the Federal Poverty Level Guidelines for the appropriate family size. Makes other changes regarding eligibility under the Family Care program. Extends eligibility to persons who, pursuant to a waiver approved by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, are eligible for medical assistance under Title XIX or XXI of the Social Security Act. Permits the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to adopt rules concerning the waiver program. Provides that if the United States Supreme Court holds Title II, Subtitle A, Section 2001(a) of Public Law 111-148 to be unconstitutional, or if a holding of Public Law 111-148 makes Medicaid eligibility allowed under Section 2001(a) inoperable, or if an Act of Congress that becomes a Public Law eliminates Section 2001(a) of Public Law 111-148, the State or a unit of local government shall be prohibited from enrolling individuals in the Medical Assistance Program as the result of federal approval of a State Medicaid waiver on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
