(305 ILCS 5/5-2.1d)
Sec. 5-2.1d. Retroactive eligibility. An applicant for
medical assistance may be eligible for up to 3 months prior to

assistance for retroactive months, the Department shall
consider the amount of income and resources and exemptions
available to a person as of the first day of each of the
backdated months for which eligibility is sought. The
