Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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 5/6-2
(305 ILCS 5/6-2) (from Ch. 23, par. 6-2)
Sec. 6-2. Amount of aid. The amount and nature of General Assistance
for basic maintenance requirements shall be determined in accordance
with local budget standards for local governmental units which do not receive
State funds. For local governmental units which do receive State funds,
the amount and nature of General Assistance for basic maintenance requirements
shall be determined in accordance with the standards, rules and regulations
of the Illinois Department. However,
the amount and nature of any
financial aid is not affected by the payment of any grant under the
Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities Property Tax Relief Act, any rebate authorized under Section 2201(a) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (Public Law 116-136) or under any other federal economic stimulus program created in response to the COVID-19 emergency,
or any distributions or items of income described under subparagraph (X) of
paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 203 of the Illinois Income Tax
Act. Due regard shall be given to the
requirements and the conditions existing in each case, and to the income,
money contributions and other support and resources available, from
whatever source. In local governmental units which do not receive State
funds, the grant shall be sufficient when added to all other income, money
contributions and support in excess of any excluded income or resources, to
provide the person with a grant in the amount established for such a person
by the local governmental unit based upon standards meeting basic
maintenance requirements. In local governmental units which
do receive State funds, the grant shall be sufficient when added to all
other income, money contributions and support in excess of any excluded
income or resources, to provide the person with a grant in the amount
established for such a person by Department regulation based upon standards
providing a livelihood compatible with health and well-being, as directed
by Section 12-4.11 of this Code.
The Illinois Department may conduct special projects, which may be
known as Grant Diversion Projects, under which recipients of financial aid
under this Article are placed in jobs and their grants are diverted to the
employer who in turn makes payments to the recipients in the form of salary
or other employment benefits. The Illinois Department shall by rule specify
the terms and conditions of such Grant Diversion Projects. Such projects
shall take into consideration and be coordinated with the programs
administered under the Illinois Emergency Employment Development Act.
The allowances provided under Article IX for recipients participating in
the training and rehabilitation programs shall be in addition to such
maximum payment.
Payments may also be made to provide persons receiving basic
maintenance support with necessary treatment, care and supplies required
because of illness or disability or with acute medical treatment, care,
and supplies.
Payments for necessary or acute medical
care under
this paragraph may be made to or in behalf of the person. Obligations
incurred for such services but not paid for at the time of a recipient's
death may be paid, subject to the rules and regulations of the Illinois
Department, after the death of the recipient.
