That means anyone who participates in SNAP, Housing Assistance, the National School Lunch Program or other programs is eligible for the offer.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
