In provisions concerning the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Nutrition Program, removes a provision requiring the Department of Human Services to report quarterly to the Governor and the General Assembly on the status of obligations and expenditures of the WIC nutrition program appropriation and make recommendations on actions necessary to expend all available federal funds. Amends the Administration Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. In provisions requiring the Department of Human Services to enter into intergovernmental agreements with the Illinois Department of Corrections, the Cook County Department of Corrections, and the office of the sheriff of every other county, removes a requirement that the Department conduct monthly exchanges of information with the specified agencies in order to determine if an assistance unit receiving public aid includes an individual who is an inmate of a correctional institution, facility, or jail. Removes a requirement that the Department of Human Services exchange information with the office of the sheriff of every county and instead requires the Department to exchange information with the office of the sheriff to the extent available. Requires the Department to review each individual prior to authorizing benefits at application and redetermination to verify eligibility for benefits under the Code (rather than requiring the Department to review each month the entire list of individuals generated by the monthly exchange and verify the eligibility for benefits under the Code for each individual on the list).House Committee Amendment No. 1 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following change. In the Administration Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code, permits the Department of Human Services to purchase incarceration data through a third-party resource to conduct data matches of incarcerated individuals. 2/8/2024HouseFiled with the Clerk by Rep.
