1 AN ACT to amend the Illinois Public Aid Code by changing
2 Section 4-1.12.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by
6 changing Section 4-1.12 as follows:
7 (305 ILCS 5/4-1.12)
8 Sec. 4-1.12. Five year limitation.
9 (a) No assistance unit shall be eligible for a cash
10 grant under this Article if it includes an adult who has
11 received cash assistance as an adult for 60 months, whether
12 or not consecutive, after the effective date of this
13 amendatory Act of 1997. The Illinois Department may exempt
14 individual assistance units from the 60-month limitation or
15 determine circumstances under which a month or months would
16 not count towards the 60-month limitation even though the
17 assistance unit did receive cash assistance under this
18 Article.
19 (b) In addition to months that the Illinois Department
20 has determined or shall determine by rule not to count toward
21 the 60-month limitation, the Illinois Department shall not
22 count months in which the adult receiving assistance under
23 this Article is the primary caregiver for a disabled family
24 member, as defined by the Illinois Department in rules, when
25 the demands of caregiving are inconsistent with sustained
26 employment.
