Circuit Breaker Program

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.  When the costs of property taxes and prescription medicines begin to "overload" our seniors and persons with disabilities, this program steps in to help, just as a circuit breaker prevents overloads in an electrical system. 

For assistance in applying for circuit breaker, please call Jay at (630) 851-3952 to set up an appointment.  Jay will assist in the application process in applying for tax grants, license plate discount and prescription drugs.  Eligibility requirements will need to be met.
