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.
(305 ILCS 5/11-6) (from Ch. 23, par. 11-6)
Sec. 11-6. Decisions on applications. Within 10 days after a decision is
reached on an application, the applicant
shall be notified in writing of the decision. If the applicant resides in a facility licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act or a supportive living facility authorized under Section 5-5.01a, the facility shall also receive written notice of the decision, provided that the notification is related to a Department payment for services received by the applicant in the facility. Only facilities enrolled in and subject to a provider agreement under the medical assistance program under Article V may receive such notices of decisions. The Department shall
consider eligibility for, and the notice shall contain a decision on, each
of the following assistance programs for which the client may be
eligible based on the information contained in the application: Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families, Medical Assistance, Aid to the Aged, Blind
and Disabled, General Assistance (in the City of Chicago), and food stamps. No
decision shall be required for any
assistance program for which the applicant has expressly declined in
writing to apply. If the applicant is determined to
be eligible, the notice shall include a statement of the
amount of financial aid to be provided and a statement of the reasons for
any partial grant amounts. If the applicant is determined
ineligible for any public assistance the notice shall include the reason
why the applicant is ineligible. If the application for any public
assistance is denied, the notice shall include a statement defining the
applicant's right to appeal the decision.
The Illinois Department, by rule, shall determine the date on which
assistance shall begin for applicants determined eligible. That date may be
no later than 30 days after the date of the application.
Under no circumstances may any application be denied solely to meet an
application-processing deadline. As used in this Section, "application" also refers to requests for admission approval to facilities licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act or to supportive living facilities authorized under Section 5-5.01a.
