State Representative Amy Elik has expressed concern following the release of an audit report by the Illinois Auditor General. The report focused on the state-run Health Benefits for Immigrant Seniors and Adults (HBIA/HBIS) program, which was found to have exceeded both enrollment and cost estimates.
Elik stated, “Last year, I, through the Legislative Audit Commission, directed the Auditor General to conduct an audit of the Health Benefits for Immigrant Seniors and Adults (HBIA/HBIS), and the results were released today and are alarming.” She noted that House Republicans had anticipated significant discrepancies between estimated and actual figures in the program's enrollment and expenses.
Elik emphasized the need for improvement, stating, “We must do better. Now is the time and this is the opportunity to work for taxpayers, not promote fraud and overspending.”
