SB1847 amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to modify eligibility for medical assistance by removing certain asset considerations and establishing new eligibility criteria. It allows the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to disregard assets when determining eligibility, subject to federal approval. The bill also sets income eligibility standards and expands coverage to include individuals under specific conditions, such as those with certain cancers or those who are foreign-born victims of human trafficking.
