Short description: 
DPT AGING-HOUSEKEEPRS-HLTH INS                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois Act on the Aging.  Subject to an increase  in      
   the rates paid to chore/housekeeping and homemaker vendors contracting      
   with the Department on Aging, requires that vendors pay an amount into      
   a  fund  to  provide  health care coverage for individuals who perform      
   more than 20 hours of chore/housekeeping  or  homemaker  services  per      
   week.    Provides  that  the  amount must equal $1.40 for each hour of      
   chore/housekeeping and homemaker services performed  pursuant  to  the      
   vendor's  contract  with  the  Department.   Provides that if a vendor      
   fails to pay a required amount into the fund, the vendor must pay that      
   amount to the Department.  Effective immediately.                           
          FISCAL NOTE (Department on Aging)                                    
          This legislation would cost the Department an estimated              
          $19,937,982 (14,241,415 homemaker service units provided by          
          those working 20+ hours per week times the $1.40 required            
          by HB 2431).                                                         
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Deletes the amendatory provision that a vendor's payment  into  a      
   health  care  fund  must  be  made  out  of the 27% of the hourly rate      
   reserved for the vendor's administrative costs.  Requires coverage  of      
   individuals  who  perform  more than 80 hours of chore/housekeeping or      
   homemaker services per month (instead of 20 hours per week).  Requires      
   that the health care coverage must be at least equal to  the  coverage      
   provided  under Medicaid.  Requires coverage of an individual's spouse      
   and dependents.
