AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Act on the Aging to establish a new requirement for care coordination units in the Community Care Program. By January 1, 2026, the Department on Aging will seek federal approval to provide monthly monitoring payments to care coordination units for each active participant (defined as a person 60 years or older eligible for Community Care Program services) who is receiving services but has not used authorized services in the previous month. Managed care organizations will be required to provide these full monthly monitoring payments to care coordination units. To receive these administrative payments, care coordination units must demonstrate they have made efforts to contact the individual and confirm they no longer need services. The Department is also required to secure federal financial participation for these expenditures beginning in State Fiscal Year 2026 and continuing in subsequent years. This change aims to support and compensate care coordination units for their ongoing work in managing and monitoring services for senior citizens, even when services are not actively being used in a given month.
