Illinois Statutes Chapter 305. Public Aid § 5/5H-4. Payment of assessment

(a) The assessment payable pursuant to Section 5H-3 shall be due and payable in monthly installments, each equaling one-twelfth of the assessment for the year, on the first State business day of each month.

(b) If the approval of the waivers required under Section 5H-2 is delayed beyond the start of State fiscal year 2020, then the first installment shall be due on the first business day of the first month that begins more than 15 days after the date of such approval. In the event approval results in installments beginning after July 1, 2019, the amount of each installment for that fiscal year shall equal the full amount of the annual assessment divided by the number of payments that will be paid in fiscal year 2020.

(c) The Department shall notify each managed care organization of its annual fiscal year 2020 assessment and the installment due dates no later than 30 days prior to the first installment due date and the annual assessment and due dates for each subsequent year at least 30 days prior to the start of each fiscal year.

(d) Proceeds from the assessment levied pursuant to Section 5H-3 shall be deposited into the Fund; provided, however, that proceeds from the assessment levied pursuant to Section 5H-3 upon a county provider as defined in Section 15-1 of this Code shall instead be deposited directly into the County Provider Trust Fund.
