Short description: 
DHS-TANF-GRANT INCREASE                                                    

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code.  Requires the Department  of      
   Human Services to increase TANF grant amounts by 15% effective July 1,      
   2001 and again July 1, 2002. Requires the Department on January 1,          
   2004 and every 2 years thereafter to report to the Governor and the         
   General Assembly concerning the adequacy of TANF grant amounts to meet      
   families' subsistence needs. Effective July 1, 2001.                        
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Provides that effective July 1, 2002 and each July 1  thereafter,      
   the  Department  of Human Services must increase TANF grant amounts by      
   no less than the increase in the federal employment cost index for the      
   preceding calendar year (instead  of  increasing  the  grant  amounts,      
   effective  July 1, 2002 only, by no less than 15% above the amounts in      
   effect on June 30, 2002).                                                   
          FISCAL NOTE (Department of Human Services)                           
          Increasing TANF grant amounts by 15% of the current payment          
          level, beginning July 2001, would yield an annual cost of            
          approximately $32.4 million or $39 monthly per case. This cost       
          estimate is based on the current FY01 TANF caseload of 69,852        
          cases and the predominate family size of three. The additional       
          increase of 15% in the following years (July 2002) built on the      
          prior year's increase would yield an additional annual cost of       
          approximately $37.3 million or $45 monthly per case. In addi-        
          tion, the Department would incur additional cost due to cases        
          remaining on the caseload for longer periods of time.
