Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

305 ILCS 5/4-1.12

(305 ILCS 5/4-1.12)

Sec. 4-1.12.

Five year limitation.

No assistance unit shall be eligible for a cash grant under this Article
if it includes an adult who has received cash assistance as an adult for 60
months, whether or not consecutive, after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1997.  The Illinois Department may exempt individual assistance units
from the 60-month limitation or determine circumstances under which a month or
months would not count towards the 60-month limitation even though the
assistance unit did receive cash assistance under this Article.
