| Bill | DHFS-ESTATE RECOVERY WAIVERS | Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. Requires the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to waive estate recovery under specified provisions of the Code where recovery would not be cost-effective, would work an undue hardship, or for any other just reason. Provides that when an estate is not valued at a minimum of $25,000, it is not cost-effective to pursue recovery. Requires the Department to pursue a State Plan amendment to establish a cost-effectiveness threshold of $25,000. Sets forth the circumstances under which an estate may apply for an undue hardship waiver. Requires the Department to make information about estate recovery and hardship waivers easily accessible. Requires the Department to maintain on its website information on how to request a hardship waiver in English, Spanish, and the next 4 most commonly used languages. In a provision concerning eligibility verification for medical assistance, requires the Department to include seniors and persons with disabilities in ex parte renewals. Requires the Department to use its asset verification system, accept the data provided about an individual's assets, and automatically renew the individual's coverage for medical assistance. Requires the Department to pursue a State Plan amendment, if required, by July 1, 2022 to implement ex parte renewals. In order to achieve efficiencies in the Medicare Savings Program's enrollment process, requires the Department to investigate how to align the eligibility criteria under the Medicare Savings Program with the criteria used by the Medicare Part D Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) program. Requires the Department to issue a report, by July 1, 2022, with its recommendations on alignment and outreach. Provides that by October 31, 2022, the Department shall change the Medicare Savings Program's eligibility criteria to facilitate the use of LIS leads data to automate or streamline enrollment into Medicare Savings Program benefits. Repeals several provisions concerning the State's authority to place a lien on a recipient's real property interests in order to recover payments made by the State on the recipient's behalf under the Aid to the Aged, Blind or Disabled program or the Medical Assistance program. Effective immediately. | us/states/il | Illinois General Assembly | 102nd | HB 4343 | Illinois HB 4343 (102nd) |
