Financial Assistance for Seniors and Disabled

The Illinois Department on Aging’s Circuit Breaker program provides grants to senior citizens and persons with disabilities to help them reduce the impact of taxes and prescription medications on their lives.

The program is intended for Illinois Residents, age 65 or older or with a disability, and who meet certain income requirements.  Types of assistance available include grants for property taxes, license plate fee discounts, free public transit, and prescription drug assistance.

If you have applied for and/or received assistance from this program in the past, be aware that you do have to reapply each year.
