Summary
Amends the Illinois Act on the Aging. In regard to a nursing home prescreening program administered by the Department on Aging for individuals with Alzheimer's Disease and related disorders, provides that case coordination units shall employ pre-screeners to perform all functions assigned to case coordination units under the Act and that in addition to information needed to properly assess an individual's need for services, the pre-screener shall be responsible for soliciting asset, income, and resource information needed to comply with federal spousal impoverishment requirements. Requires the pre-screener to (i) inform the individual and the individual's spouse, if any, of the consequences of failing to comply with full disclosure and (ii) enter asset, income, and resource information into the same database used to enter the Determination of Need score to ensure that the Department of Human Services and the Department of Healthcare and Family Services have open access to such information. Amends the Medical Assistance Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that subject to federal approval, the community spouse resource allowance shall be established and maintained, based on asset, income, and resource information collected by a pre-screener, at the higher of $109,560 or the minimum level permitted pursuant to certain federal guidelines, as now or hereafter amended, or an amount set after a fair hearing, whichever is greater (rather than the community spouse resource allowance shall be established and maintained at the higher of $109,560 or the minimum level permitted pursuant to certain federal guidelines, as now or hereafter amended, or an amount set after a fair hearing, whichever is greater). Effective immediately.
