Bill > HB2210

This bill makes a technical amendment to Section 4-21 of the Illinois Public Aid Code regarding sanctions for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients. The bill appears to modify language related to how the Illinois Department establishes and implements sanctions for individuals who fail to cooperate with employment and training programs, child support programs, or other assistance programs. Specifically, the bill maintains the existing provisions that allow the department to create a system of sanctions that can be time-limited, progressive (meaning subsequent sanctions can be more severe), and applied to recipients who do not cooperate without good cause. The bill retains the provision that allows for a 30% reduction in the grant amount for adult members of an assistance unit who are found to be noncompliant. While the changes appear to be primarily technical in nature, they reinforce the state's existing framework for ensuring program compliance among public aid recipients by maintaining clear guidelines for potential sanctions.
