IL SB3859

Allows the Department of Human Services to exceed specified funding limits for home-based services if an eligible adult's service needs require higher funding and appropriated funds are available.

Removes the current cap that limits home-based services to either 300% of monthly federal Supplemental Security Income for individuals not in special education or 200% for those enrolled in special education programs.

Requires the Department of Human Services to conduct a rate methodology study for the Home-Based Support Services Program for Adults with Mental Disabilities by no later than State Fiscal Year 2024.

The rate study must examine lost purchasing power for the program since State Fiscal Year 2015 caused by increases in workforce costs and rates, as well as actual service costs.

Takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
