Bill > SB3882

This bill makes changes to two state programs to exempt certain individuals from work requirements. First, it amends the Medical Assistance Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code, meaning the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, which administers Medicaid in Illinois, will no longer require former foster care youth, veterans, or people experiencing homelessness to work a minimum number of hours to keep their Medicaid coverage. Second, it amends the Administration Article of the same code, stating that the Department of Human Services, which administers the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), will also not require these same groups of people to meet a minimum work hour requirement to remain eligible for SNAP benefits, which are commonly known as food stamps.
