IL HB4784

Medicaid recipients receiving institutional services or home and community-based services would be presumed eligible for continued coverage during any redetermination process, unless they experience a material change in financial circumstances

Recipients (or their caregivers) must notify the Department of Healthcare and Family Services if a material change in financial circumstances causes loss of eligibility

The Department must provide written notice before starting any redetermination and again upon conclusion with results and effective dates of any eligibility changes

By January 1, 2028, the Department must seek federal authorization to exempt persons with disabilities from annual eligibility redeterminations, requiring full redetermination only once every 5 years
