AI Summary
This bill, titled "PUB AID-PROOF OF INCOME," amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to prohibit the Department of Human Services and the Department of Healthcare and Family Services from accepting self-attested income documents from individuals applying for or receiving cash assistance (under Articles III, IV, or XVI), medical assistance (under Article V), or benefits from the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which provides food assistance. The bill requires these departments to seek any necessary federal waivers or approvals to implement this change, meaning that applicants and recipients will likely need to provide more formal documentation of their income instead of simply stating it themselves.
