TANF-FAMILY VIOLENCE OPTION
Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes: Removes language concerning crisis assistance funding that were included with the amendatory provisions concerning the waiver of TANF work and self-sufficiency requirements for individuals who are the victims of domestic or sexual violence. Instead amends an existing statutory provision regarding crisis assistance funds for families who have become homeless due to domestic or sexual violence. Requires the Department of Human Services to inform such families, during their application for TANF, on the availability of crisis assistance funding. Provides that the Department shall provide no less than $1,250 to eligible families for up to 4 months. Provides that the provisions of the bill are subject to the civil remedies outlined in the Public Assistance Fraud Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code.
