Bill Summary
Amends the Administration Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code.

Effective October 1, 2025.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to establish a state-level supplement for households receiving federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Specifically, if a household's monthly SNAP benefit is calculated to be less than $75, the state of Illinois will provide additional funds to raise the total monthly benefit to $75. SNAP, formerly known as food stamps, is a federal program that helps low-income individuals and families purchase food. By setting this minimum benefit level, the bill aims to ensure that even households receiving the smallest SNAP allocations have a baseline amount of food assistance. The provision will take effect on October 1, 2025, giving state agencies time to implement the new supplemental benefit system.
