Need Ignition Interlock Financial Assistance in Ohio?

Do you need an Ignition Interlock because of an OVI (Operating Vehicle Impaired) conviction in Ohio, but you’re worried about the costs? Ohio’s courts each have a financial assistance, or indigent, fund in place for those who may need more help paying for some of the costs associated with the Ignition Interlock.

About Ohio’s Indigent Driver’s Interlock and Alcohol Monitoring Fund

Each court in Ohio has an established indigent driver’s Interlock and alcohol monitoring fund. The court overseeing your OVI conviction will determine whether you are eligible to receive financial assistance through this fund or not. Your court will look at your case, an indigent client eligibility guidelines sheet, and the standards of indigence established by the state public defender. Once they make their decision, they will notify you if you are eligible for financial assistance.

So, what does the indigent driver’s Interlock and alcohol monitoring fund cover exactly?

What the Fund Covers

If you are eligible for Ohio’s financial assistance program, the indigent driver’s Interlock and alcohol monitoring fund will cover your various Ignition Interlock service costs. These service costs can include installation, calibration appointments, transfers and removals. Your court will let you know what is covered specifically, depending on your needs, during your Ignition Interlock program.

Once you do receive the eligibility paperwork from the court, provide this to your Ignition Interlock provider, such as Smart Start.
