32 provided. Such eligibility standards may be based on the

34 that any portion of a person's income that is equal to or
-11- LRB9206428WHcsam
1 less than the "protected income" level shall not be
2 considered by the Department in determining eligibility. The
3 "protected income" level shall be determined by the
4 Department, shall never be less than the federal poverty
5 standard, and shall be adjusted each year to reflect changes
6 in the Consumer Price Index For All Urban Consumers as
7 determined by the United States Department of Labor.
8 Additionally, in determining the amount and nature of

14 a home to his spouse, provided that the spouse's share of the
15 marital property is not made available to the person seeking
16 such services.
17 The services shall be provided to eligible persons to
18 prevent unnecessary or premature institutionalization, to the
19 extent that the cost of the services, together with the other
20 personal maintenance expenses of the persons, are reasonably
21 related to the standards established for care in a group
22 facility appropriate to their condition. These
23 non-institutional services, pilot projects or experimental
24 facilities may be provided as part of or in addition to those
25 authorized by federal law or those funded and administered by
26 the Illinois Department on Aging.
27 Personal care attendants shall be paid:

11 shall be conducted by the Department.
12 The Department is authorized to establish a system of
13 recipient cost-sharing for services provided under this
14 Section. The cost-sharing shall be based upon the
15 recipient's ability to pay for services, but in no case shall
16 the recipient's share exceed the actual cost of the services
17 provided. Protected income shall not be considered by the
18 Department in its determination of the recipient's ability to
19 pay a share of the cost of services. The level of
20 cost-sharing shall be adjusted each year to reflect changes
21 in the "protected income" level. The Department shall deduct
22 from the recipient's share of the cost of services any money
23 expended by the recipient for disability-related expenses.
24 The Department, or the Department's authorized
25 representative, shall recover the amount of moneys expended
26 for services provided to or in behalf of a person under this
27 Section by a claim against the person's estate or against the
28 estate of the person's surviving spouse, but no recovery may
29 be had until after the death of the surviving spouse, if any,
30 and then only at such time when there is no surviving child
31 who is under age 21, blind, or permanently and totally
32 disabled. This paragraph, however, shall not bar recovery,
33 at the death of the person, of moneys for services provided
34 to the person or in behalf of the person under this Section
-13- LRB9206428WHcsam
1 to which the person was not entitled; provided that such
2 recovery shall not be enforced against any real estate while
3 it is occupied as a homestead by the surviving spouse or
4 other dependent, if no claims by other creditors have been
5 filed against the estate, or, if such claims have been filed,
6 they remain dormant for failure of prosecution or failure of
7 the claimant to compel administration of the estate for the
8 purpose of payment. This paragraph shall not bar recovery
9 from the estate of a spouse, under Sections 1915 and 1924 of
10 the Social Security Act and Section 5-4 of the Illinois
11 Public Aid Code, who precedes a person receiving services
12 under this Section in death. All moneys for services paid to
13 or in behalf of the person under this Section shall be
14 claimed for recovery from the deceased spouse's estate.
15 "Homestead", as used in this paragraph, means the dwelling
16 house and contiguous real estate occupied by a surviving
17 spouse or relative, as defined by the rules and regulations
18 of the Illinois Department of Public Aid, regardless of the
19 value of the property.
20 The Department and the Department on Aging shall
21 cooperate in the development and submission of an annual
22 report on programs and services provided under this Section.
23 Such joint report shall be filed with the Governor and the
24 General Assembly on or before March 30 each year.
