Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
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.
(330 ILCS 100/2) (from Ch. 126 1/2, par. 57.82) Sec. 2. Persons entitled to compensation. The widow or widower, child or children, mother, father, persons standing in loco parentis, brothers and sisters, in the order named, of any deceased person if (a) that person was a resident of Illinois for at least 12 months immediately preceding entry into military service and (b) that person's death was service connected as a result of hostile action with unfriendly forces during a period which has not been recognized by award of a U.S. campaign or service medal, shall be paid $1,000. Where a preceding beneficiary fails to file a claim of compensation after the official notice of death, the Department of Veterans Affairs may accept applications from succeeding beneficiaries and such beneficiaries may then proceed to qualify upon submission of satisfactory proof of eligibility.(Source: P.A. 104-234, eff. 8-15-25.) |
