305 ILCS 5/4-1.12: Five year limitation.

No assistance unit shall be eligible for a cash grant under this Article if it includes an adult who has received cash assistance as an adult for 60 months, whether or not consecutive, after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997. The Illinois Department may exempt individual assistance units from the 60-month limitation or determine circumstances under which a month or months would not count towards the 60-month limitation even though the assistance unit did receive cash assistance under this Article.
