 3    "protected   income"   level   shall  be  determined  by  the
 4    Department, shall never be  less  than  the  federal  poverty
 5    standard,  and shall be adjusted each year to reflect changes
 6    in the Consumer  Price  Index  For  All  Urban  Consumers  as
 7    determined   by   the  United  States  Department  of  Labor.
 8    Additionally,  in  determining  the  amount  and  nature   of
 9    services  for which a person may qualify, consideration shall
10    not be given to the value of cash, property or  other  assets
11    held in the name of the person's spouse pursuant to a written
12    agreement  dividing  marital property into equal but separate
13    shares or pursuant to a transfer of the person's interest  in
14    a home to his spouse, provided that the spouse's share of the
15    marital  property is not made available to the person seeking
16    such services.
17        The services shall be provided  to  eligible  persons  to
18    prevent unnecessary or premature institutionalization, to the
19    extent that the cost of the services, together with the other
20    personal  maintenance expenses of the persons, are reasonably
21    related to the standards established  for  care  in  a  group
22    facility    appropriate    to    their    condition.    These
23    non-institutional services, pilot  projects  or  experimental
24    facilities may be provided as part of or in addition to those
25    authorized by federal law or those funded and administered by
26    the Illinois Department on Aging.
27        Personal care attendants shall be paid:
28             (i)  A  $5  per  hour minimum rate beginning July 1,

 1    home  prescreening  project, as authorized by Section 4.03 of
 2    the  Illinois  Act  on  the   Aging,   written   inter-agency
 3    agreements with the Department on Aging and the Department of
 4    Public  Aid,  to effect the following:  (i) intake procedures
 5    and common eligibility criteria for  those  persons  who  are
 6    receiving    non-institutional   services;   and   (ii)   the
 7    establishment and development of  non-institutional  services
 8    in  areas of the State where they are not currently available
 9    or are undeveloped.  On and after July 1, 1996,  all  nursing
10    home prescreenings for individuals 18 through 59 years of age
11    shall be conducted by the Department.
12        The  Department  is  authorized  to establish a system of
13    recipient  cost-sharing  for  services  provided  under  this
14    Section.   The  cost-sharing  shall   be   based   upon   the
15    recipient's ability to pay for services, but in no case shall
16    the  recipient's share exceed the actual cost of the services
17    provided.  Protected income shall not be  considered  by  the
18    Department in its determination of the recipient's ability to
19    pay   a  share  of  the  cost  of  services.   The  level  of
20    cost-sharing shall be adjusted each year to  reflect  changes
21    in the "protected income" level.  The Department shall deduct
22    from  the recipient's share of the cost of services any money
23    expended by the recipient for disability-related expenses.
24        The   Department,   or   the   Department's    authorized
25    representative,  shall  recover the amount of moneys expended
26    for services provided to or in behalf of a person under  this
27    Section by a claim against the person's estate or against the
28    estate  of the person's surviving spouse, but no recovery may
29    be had until after the death of the surviving spouse, if any,
30    and then only at such time when there is no  surviving  child
31    who  is  under  age  21,  blind,  or  permanently and totally
32    disabled.  This paragraph, however, shall not  bar  recovery,
33    at  the  death of the person, of moneys for services provided
34    to the person or in behalf of the person under  this  Section
 
                            -13-             LRB9206428WHcsam
 1    to  which  the  person  was  not entitled; provided that such
 2    recovery shall not be enforced against any real estate  while
 3    it  is  occupied  as  a  homestead by the surviving spouse or
 4    other dependent, if no claims by other  creditors  have  been
 5    filed against the estate, or, if such claims have been filed,
 6    they  remain dormant for failure of prosecution or failure of
 7    the claimant to compel administration of the estate  for  the
 8    purpose  of  payment.   This paragraph shall not bar recovery
 9    from the estate of a spouse, under Sections 1915 and 1924  of
10    the  Social  Security  Act  and  Section  5-4 of the Illinois
11    Public Aid Code, who precedes  a  person  receiving  services
12    under this Section in death.  All moneys for services paid to
13    or  in  behalf  of  the  person  under  this Section shall be
14    claimed for  recovery  from  the  deceased  spouse's  estate.
15    "Homestead",  as  used  in this paragraph, means the dwelling
16    house and contiguous real  estate  occupied  by  a  surviving
17    spouse  or  relative, as defined by the rules and regulations
18    of the Illinois Department of Public Aid, regardless  of  the
19    value of the property.
20        The   Department   and  the  Department  on  Aging  shall
21    cooperate in the development  and  submission  of  an  annual
22    report  on programs and services provided under this Section.
23    Such joint report shall be filed with the  Governor  and  the
24    General Assembly on or before March 30 each year.
25        The  requirement  for  reporting  to the General Assembly
26    shall be satisfied by filing copies of the  report  with  the
27    Speaker,  the  Minority  Leader and the Clerk of the House of
28    Representatives and the President, the  Minority  Leader  and
29    the  Secretary  of  the  Senate  and the Legislative Research
30    Unit, as required by Section  3.1  of  the  General  Assembly
31    Organization Act, and filing additional copies with the State

 8        (m)  To assure that the names and case records of persons
 9    who received or are receiving services from  the  Department,
10    including  persons  receiving vocational rehabilitation, home
11    services, or other services, and those attending one  of  the
