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. This program offers a sliding scale of assistance based on the family’s income level relative to federal poverty guidelines, ensuring the cost of ignition interlock installation in California is more manageable.

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.

Reach out to LifeSafer today to begin the process and take advantage of financial aid opportunities tailored for residents of California. We’re here to help you move forward.

Colorado Ignition Interlock Financial Assistance

LifeSafer is committed to facilitating access to ignition interlock devices for individuals who have faced DUI charges in Colorado and are facing financial hardship. The state’s Department of Motor Vehicles has established a fund specifically to aid qualifying DUI offenders with the costs associated with an ignition interlock device. The Colorado Financial Assistance Program is primarily sustained by contributions from those with first-time offenses.

To be considered for financial support, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Your Federal Adjusted Gross Income (FAGI) should align with a specific percentage range of the federal poverty guidelines.
• Eligibility is limited to first-time offenders charged on or after January 1, 2009, or individuals identified as persistent drunk drivers initiating their interlock use on or after January 1, 2014.
• Applicants must have established residency in Colorado.
• Applicants must be 21 years of age or older at the time of their DUI offense.
• It is important to note that any suspension or revocation of driving privileges during the period when an interlock-restricted license is in use will result in the discontinuation of financial assistance.

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:

• If your monthly income is at or below 150% of the federal poverty guidelines.
• If you are a recipient of Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF).
• If you are receiving benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Once eligibility is confirmed, the Secretary of State will issue a document verifying your qualification. Presenting this documentation to LifeSafer enables you to have your ignition interlock device installed, calibrated, and eventually removed, all without incurring any of those specific charges.

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.
