Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. In a provision concerning the development of an employability plan for recipients of public aid who participate in the Department of Human Services' education, training, and employment program, requires the employability plan to include a description of Core and Non-Core activities the recipient will undertake to achieve his or her employment goal. Requires the Department to define, by rule, the hour requirements regarding Core and Non-Core activities. Provides that Core activities shall consist of employment, participation in the Work First program, vocational training, participation in an associate or bachelor's degree program, and other activities. Provides that Non-Core activities shall consist of job skills training related to employment and education directly related to employment, including, but not limited to: adult basic education and English as a Second Language classes. Provides that high school and high school equivalency programs shall constitute a Core activity for clients when they initially qualify for assistance; however, the Department may define, by rule, when high school and high school equivalency programs may constitute a Non-Core activity for clients who may not finish programs within the time limits of their eligibility.
