California Ignition Interlock Financial Assistance

LifeSafer recognizes the financial challenges that may arise with the need for an ignition interlock device. To support our California customers, LifeSafer extends a financial aid program to participants of designated pilot programs within the state.

Here’s how the assistance works:

  • Families with incomes at or below 100% of the federal poverty level will be responsible for only 10% of the costs associated with their ignition interlock device.
  • Those earning between 101% and 200% of the federal poverty level contribute 25% towards the ignition interlock expenses.
  • Customers with household incomes between 201% and 300% of the federal poverty mark are asked to pay 50% of the ignition interlock costs.

In cases where financial assistance is granted by the court, LifeSafer will receive the necessary documentation directly, and we will cover any outstanding amounts not paid by the customer.

Illinois Ignition Interlock Financial Assistance

LifeSafer can help Illinois residents who are required to install a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) but face financial challenges. The Secretary of State determines eligibility for this support, taking into account a variety of factors:

Please note, however, that individuals who are deemed indigent are still accountable for a monthly monitoring fee of $30 and an $8 permit fee, both of which are paid directly to the Secretary of State.

It is also important to be aware that any additional fees, including those for lockouts or device damages, are not covered by this financial assistance and will be the responsibility of the individual.
