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.
(320 ILCS 25/9) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 409)
Sec. 9. Fraud; error. (a) Any person who files a fraudulent claim
for a grant under this Act, or who for compensation prepares a claim
for a grant and
knowingly enters false information on an application for any claimant under
this Act, or who fraudulently files multiple applications, or who
fraudulently states that a person without a disability is a person with a disability, or who, prior to July 1, 2012, fraudulently procures pharmaceutical assistance benefits, or
who fraudulently uses such assistance to procure covered prescription drugs, or
who, on behalf of an authorized pharmacy, files a fraudulent request for payment, is
guilty of a Class 4 felony for the first offense and is guilty of a Class 3
felony for each subsequent offense. (b) (Blank). (c) The Department on Aging may recover from a
claimant any amount paid to that claimant under this
Act on account of an erroneous or

amount owed against any future grant payable to the person
under this Act. The Department of Healthcare and Family Services may
recover for acts prior to July 1, 2012 from an authorized pharmacy any amount paid to that
pharmacy under the pharmaceutical assistance program on
account of an erroneous or fraudulent request for payment under
that program, together with 6% interest per year. The
Department of Healthcare and Family Services may recover from a
person who erroneously or fraudulently obtains benefits under
the pharmaceutical assistance program the value of the benefits
so obtained, together with 6% interest per year. (d) A prosecution for
a violation of this Section may be commenced at any time within 3 years
of the commission of that violation.
