Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(305 ILCS 5/11-22c) (from Ch. 23, par. 11-22c)
Sec. 11-22c. Recovery of back wages. (a) As used in this Section, "recipient" means any person
receiving financial assistance under Article IV or Article VI of this Code, receiving health care benefits under the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, or receiving health care benefits under the Veterans' Health Insurance Program Act or the Veterans' Health Insurance Program Act of 2008.
(b) If a recipient maintains any suit, charge or other court or

during which the recipient received financial assistance under Article IV
or Article VI of this Code, health care benefits under the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, or health care benefits under the Veterans' Health Insurance Program Act or the Veterans' Health Insurance Program Act of 2008, the recipient shall report such fact to the

behalf of the recipient under Article IV or Article VI, health care benefits provided under the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, or health care benefits provided under the Veterans' Health Insurance Program Act or the Veterans' Health Insurance Program Act of 2008, the Department may
by intervention or otherwise without the necessity of assignment of claim,
attach a lien on the recovery of back wages equal to the amount of
assistance provided by the Department to the recipient under Article IV or
Article VI, under the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, or under the Veterans' Health Insurance Program Act or the Veterans' Health Insurance Program Act of 2008.
