Kelly's Update

The first week of Veto Session is in the books. There was not a lot of floor action, but we had the opportunity to meet as a caucus to review some of the bigger outstanding items and get briefed on the negotiation on some bills we expect to see next week including transit and energy. We may also see an elections package since that bill was stalled at the end of spring session, as well as some measures meant to address safety concerns arising out of political violence. As we get more information on these and other proposals, we’ll be sure to share them out.

One of the biggest hurdles we currently face is the need to identify funding sources for the transit bill while remaining mindful of the other budgetary pressures we are already facing and anticipating. Early in the process, the transit working groups and coalitions seemed aligned that any funding stream for transit should have a nexus with transportation issues, with growing opposition to many of the potential sources, there have also been folks suggesting we revisit ideas such as modernizing our sales tax system to tax services, payroll taxes on employers, and the estate tax. To my mind, with cuts to health care and food benefits looming, not to mention a laundry list of other anticipated budget impacts, it seems prudent for the transit funding conversation to remain rooted in a transportation space given the likelihood of the need to address other shortfalls. If you haven’t weighed in on the survey we shared along with the offices of Reps. Ann Williams and Eva-Dina Delgado, get your thoughts in today: bit.ly/ILTransitSurvey

We have gotten deeply disturbing news that SNAP benefits will likely not be paid during the federal government shutdown. We are doing our best to get as much information on this as we can and share what we learn ASAP. More information can be found below. This is just the beginning of the emergencies that HR1 and this shutdown will bring our way, with each cut having very real human implications and adding up to amounts that will have a devastating impact on the state’s budget.

Last week in session, in addition to the behind the scenes work of getting up to speed on the bills being considered for this session, we had what’s referred to as an Order of Resolutions where colleagues presented a series of House Resolutions on the importance of honoring the constitutional right to due process (HR504), free speech and freedom of the press (HR505), the federal government’s decision to rescind funding for the Red Line Extension (HR506), Health and Human Services’ Secretary Kennedy’s claims that vaccines and Tylenol cause autism (HR507), and political violence and threats against public figures (HR508).

We also got to welcome a new member to the General Assembly last week. Rep. Margaret DeLaRosa is currently a school board member from Lombard and joins us to replace outgoing member Rep. Terra Costa Howard. Rep. Costa Howard, who has been in the House since 2019 has been a close friend and ally in the House, whether in how we came together with 17 other colleagues to demand that we elect a new Speaker in 2021, or as a founding member of our Dobbs Decision Working Group that has crafted and passed landmark legislation to protect rights threatened by this administration and Supreme Court, she has been a tireless advocate for her constituents. She was recently appointed to the bench in DuPage County, where she will serve as a judge in the Child Welfare division. Her long career in the child welfare space will serve her well and makes her ideally suited to take on this role.

Rep. Cassidy and her staff attend a rally to support federal workers.

Need to Know Info

Federal officials with the Trump Administration have notified all states that it will not fund November Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits if the Republican federal government shutdown continues. As a result, SNAP customers will not receive November food benefits – unless there is further action from the Trump administration to reopen the government

In previous government shutdowns, Congress and the President have come to a resolution before families were affected. The situation is evolving, and the State of Illinois is sharing the latest information in the interest of being transparent and helping those who rely on food benefits make the best plan for their families.

Illinois is awaiting further guidance from the federal government.

• Customer & provider updates will be added to snapfederalimpact.illinois.gov.

The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority is requesting proposals for grants for Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Transitional Housing. This funding opportunity will support transitional housing services for persons whose housing needs arise from or are a cause of their victimization. Eligible clients include adults (and, when appropriate, their dependent children) and victims of crimes, including, but not limited to, domestic violence (including intimate partner violence), human trafficking, anti-LGBTQ+ violence, and forced labor.

The program narrative must thoroughly explain housing models and rent structures. Applicants are responsible for including personnel costs in their budget and budget narrative needed to accomplish program requirements.

211 Illinois was made aware of a fraudulent phone scam falsely claiming affiliation with their organization. A concerned caller reported receiving a phone call from an individual claiming to be a “supervisor with Illinois 211” and offering to help pay their utility bill. The scam involved a false promise: if the caller paid half the amount owed, “211” would cover the remaining amount.

Unfortunately, after sending money, the individual received no assistance. They contacted 211 again—only to learn it was a scam.

To be absolutely clear: 211 Illinois does not employ supervisors, does not offer direct financial assistance, and never asks for money in exchange for services. Their role is to connect people to verified local resources for help; however, they do not process payments or provide direct cash assistance. Please do not share any personal or financial information with anyone claiming to be from 211 and requesting money or banking information.

 A few weeks ago City Colleges of Chicago announced an expanded partnership with Greater Chicago Food Depository, now over the next few weeks, they will be hosting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Benefits Community Briefings together to help students and community members understand the recent changes to SNAP (Link/EBT in Illinois).

Major SNAP changes are taking effect. Many adults between the ages of 18 and 64 will face new work/volunteer reporting and administrative requirements to keep their benefits. These changes could impact nearly 2 million Illinoisans. Getting accurate information out early will help neighbors avoid gaps in benefits.

What to expect at each session:

An overview of the changes and who is impacted. On-site benefits support/enrollment or a direct connection to a benefits team member to answer your questions, and resources to share with your networks
