Effective date

Jun 20, 2026
Summary
Illinois Medicaid providers should continue providing services despite the state budget lapse for FY 2016. Claims for services before July 1, 2015 will continue to be paid from FY 2015 appropriations, while claims for FY 2016 services will be paid retroactively once a budget is enacted.
Action Required
Continue providing services to Medicaid beneficiaries during budget lapse period. Monitor cash flow carefully as FY 2016 claims (dates of service July 1, 2015 and after) will experience payment delays until state budget is enacted. Ensure Medicaid managed care organizations continue timely payments through August 2015 as required.
