Amends the Administration Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code.

AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to establish a state-level supplement to the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps. Specifically, if a household's monthly SNAP benefit is calculated to be less than $75, the state of Illinois will provide additional funding to bring the total monthly benefit up to $75. This means that no SNAP recipient household in Illinois will receive less than $75 per month for food assistance. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2025, giving state agencies time to implement the new supplemental benefit program. By establishing this minimum benefit level, the bill aims to ensure that low-income households have a basic level of food assistance, recognizing that very low SNAP benefits may not be sufficient to meet a household's nutritional needs.
