Illinois HB2591 establishes a transitional benefits program for SNAP recipients to prevent immediate loss of benefits when income exceeds SNAP limits.
Illinois HB2591 amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to require the Department of Human Services to create a transitional benefits program for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients. This program ensures that beneficiaries do not face an immediate loss of benefits when their income surpasses SNAP limits. The transitional benefits gradually decrease in proportion to the increase in the beneficiary's income, aiming for a transition to self-sufficiency while encouraging work and financial stability.
