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.

20 ILCS 505/9.5

(20 ILCS 505/9.5) (from Ch. 23, par. 5009.5)

Sec. 9.5. Notice of parental payments due.

When the Department has
determined that a parent or guardian is liable for payment for care and
support of the parent's or guardian's children, the parent or guardian shall be notified by mailing the parent or guardian
 a copy of the determination by mail, advising the parent or guardian of the parent's or guardian's legal obligation
to make payments for such period or periods of time, definite in duration
or indefinite, as the circumstances required.  The notice shall direct payment
as provided in Section 9.6.

Within 30 days after receipt of a payment notice, the parents may appeal
the assessment amount if the data used in determining the amount is inaccurate
or incomplete.   Parents may also appeal the assessment at any time on the
basis of changes in their circumstances which render inaccurate information
on which the assessment is based.  If the changes requested in a parental
appeal are granted, the Department may modify its assessment retroactively
to the appropriate date and adjust any amount in arrears accordingly.
