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.

Sec. 9A-8.1.

Improvement of information to applicants and recipients.

The
Illinois Department shall annually review
all procedures and written materials that it has in place for purposes of
compliance with subsection (a) of Section 9A-8 and
Section 11-20.1 requiring the Illinois Department to provide full and timely
information to applicants and recipients of aid under
Article IV of this Code about their opportunities, rights and responsibilities
under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
program and related programs.  As part of this annual review, the Illinois
Department shall provide copies of all procedures and
materials to the Family Self Sufficiency Advisory Council or any successor
advisory body containing a similar number and
assortment of advocates, providers, contractors, clients, and citizens.  The
Family Self Sufficiency Advisory Council or successor
advisory body shall review the existing procedures and materials in light of
program rules, recent changes in the law or rules, and
experience in the field, and it shall suggest changes to the Illinois
Department.  The Illinois Department shall produce new or
revised procedures and materials, or ratify the existing ones, for use
beginning each October 1.  If the Illinois Department rejects
changes suggested by the Family Self Sufficiency Advisory Council, it shall
explain the reasons in a written response.
