Short description: PUB AID-TANF LIMIT-DISABLED Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends language in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code providing that no assistance unit is eligible for a cash grant if it includes an adult who has received cash assistance as an adult for 60 months. Provides that the Illinois Department of Human Services may not count, toward the 60-month limitation, months in which the adult receiving assistance is the primary caregiver for a disabled family member if the demands of caregiving are inconsistent with sustained employment, and provides that families that meet those criteria and have exhausted eligibility for cash assistance under the 60-month limitation are eligible for cash assistance without regard to the 60-month limitation. Effective immediately.
