AN ACT concerning public aid.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by |
adding Section 12-4.7f as follows:
|
(305 ILCS 5/12-4.7f new) |
Sec. 12-4.7f. Death records information. At least once each |
calendar month, the Department of Human Services shall |
cross-reference its roster of public aid recipients with the |
death records information from the Department of Public Health |
residing on the Electronic Data Warehouse at the Department of |
Healthcare and Family Services. A public aid recipient who is |
found to have a death record shall be subject to an immediate |
cancelation of his or her public aid benefits, including the |
deactivation of his or her LINK card, in instances where there |
are no other individuals receiving benefits in that assistance |
unit and upon
certification that the identity of the public aid |
recipient matches the identity
of the person named in the death |
certificate. As used in this Section, "LINK
card" means the |
electronic benefits transfer card issued by the Department of |
Human Services for the purpose of enabling a user of the card |
to obtain Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) |
benefits or cash.
