Two Public Aid rules end in 2026

Beginning January 1, 2026, the law repeals two sections of the Illinois Public Aid Code (5-5.05g and 5-5.14.5). Those rules no longer apply to recipients or the agencies that run public aid programs. The act does not add replacement rules or dollar amounts. The effect on benefits or services depends on how remaining state and federal rules now apply.
