Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
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.
(740 ILCS 45/10.2)
Sec. 10.2. Emergency awards.
(a) If it appears, prior to taking action on an application, that the claim
is one for which compensation is probable, and undue hardship will result to
the applicant if immediate payment is not made, the Attorney General may
recommend and the Court may make an emergency award of compensation to the
applicant, pending a final decision in the case. Emergency awards may be issued to the applicant for the purpose of paying funeral and burial expenses directly to a funeral home and for relocation expenses incurred by an applicant. The
amount of emergency
compensation shall be deducted from any final award made as a result of the
claim.
The full amount of the emergency award if no final award is made shall be
repaid by the applicant to the State of Illinois.
(b) Emergency award applicants must satisfy all requirements under Section
6.1 of this Act.
