    Sec. 4.07. Home-delivered meals.
    (a)Every citizen of the State of Illinois who qualifies
for home-delivered meals under the federal Older Americans Act
shall be provided services, subject to appropriation. The
Department shall file a report with the General Assembly and
the Illinois Council on Aging by January 1 of each year. The
report shall include, but not be limited to, the following
information: (i) estimates, by county, of citizens denied
service due to insufficient funds during the preceding fiscal
year and the potential impact on service delivery of any
additional funds appropriated for the current fiscal year;
(ii) geographic areas and special populations unserved and
underserved in the preceding fiscal year; (iii) estimates of
additional funds needed to permit the full funding of the
program and the statewide provision of services in the next
fiscal year, including staffing and equipment needed to
prepare and deliver meals; (iv) recommendations for increasing
the amount of federal funding captured for the program; (v)
recommendations for serving unserved and underserved areas and
special populations, to include rural areas, dietetic meals,
weekend meals, and 2 or more meals per day; and (vi) any other
information needed to assist the General Assembly and the
Illinois Council on Aging in developing a plan to address
unserved and underserved areas of the State.
    (b) Subject to appropriation, on an annual basis each
recipient of home-delivered meals shall receive a fact sheet
developed by the Department on Aging with a current list of
toll-free numbers to access information on various health
conditions, elder abuse, and programs for persons 60 years of
age and older. The fact sheet shall be written in a language
that the client understands, if possible. In addition, each
recipient of home-delivered meals shall receive updates on any
new program for which persons 60 years of age and older may be
eligible.
