TechConnect Low Interest Loan Program

Due to low funds, the TechConnect Low Interest Loan Program will not be accepting loan applications for AT loans for the next two months. We will continue to accept loan applications for Telework loans for home-based employment.
Thank you for your patience.

To better serve Illinoisans with disabilities, the Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Rehabilitation Services, together with the Illinois Assistive Technology Program, Centers for Independent Living, the Coalition of Citizens with Disabilities in Illinois, and the Illinois Network of Centers for Independent Living, have joined forces to offer the TechConnect Low Interest Loan Program.

The TechConnect Low Interest Loan Program has two parts:

The Assistive Technology Loan Program provides loans to Illinois residents with disabilities and/or their families on behalf of the person with a disability to purchase assistive technology devices, services, and home modifications.
The Telework Loan Program is restricted to Illinois residents with disabilities, 18 years and older. The loan can be used to purchase equipment, services, and home modifications for home-based employment. The equipment is not restricted to assistive technology devices.

The interest rate for a TechConnect Low Interest Loan is 5.5 percent. This rate is fixed for the term of the loan. Loan amounts range from $500 to $40,000. Amounts over or under the minimum and maximum will be considered on a case-by case basis.

For more information, see Requirements and Instructions.

The TechConnect Low Interest Loan Program is funded by the Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Rehabilitation Services through grants from the U.S. Department of Education, NIDRR CFDA 84.224C and RSA CFDA 84.235T. Loans are made through Security Bank of Springfield, Illinois.
