Assistive Device Subsidy Program
A small grant has provided a limited amount of funding for a
pilot program to assist individuals to purchase assistive devices needed because
they are deaf or hard of hearing.
This program is designed to help people who do not have any
other financial resources to help them purchase equipment. The subsidy program
will pay one-half (50%) of the cost of the equipment. Eligibility will depend on
the cost of the equipment and the resources of the individual. The individual
must pay for the other half of the cost at the time it is ordered. Please be
prepared to provide proof of being an Idaho resident when applying for the
grant.
How to Apply for a Subsidy
If you need help buying an assistive device, you need to
contact one of the demonstration and loan centers listed above and request an
application.
The application has a list of the equipment that is available
on the subsidy program. Not all types of devices nor all models are available.
The staff at the center where you may pick up your application are there to help
you through the process of completing your form and choosing your assistive
device.
Step 1: Select equipment from the Subsidy Grant application
(see
2008 catalog for details on the equipment).
Step 2: Complete application and turn in to the Demonstration
and Loan center.
Step 3: Authorization form is issued to purchase equipment.
Step 4: Form is returned; Equipment is ordered and shipped to
your home.
