Does your Township participate in the SSI Program?

What a great way for a township to recycle taxpayers dollars while benefiting the township with their Township Assistance budgets of all sizes.

For many townships, Township Assistance is one of, if not the, most costly duty. The State of Indiana granted a contract with the ITA to aid in the reimbursement of Township Assistance incurred by the townships. This is done through the SSI Reimbursement Program. The ITA Office manages the intake of a recipient’s initial settlement from the Social Security Administration. Townships may contract with the ITA to recoup assistance dollars given during the interim period pending SSI eligibility.

Contact the ITA Office on how your township can start participating in the SSI Program. If your township already participates in the SSI Program, there have been changes to the claim form and the completion of the claim form, effective November 22, 2010. Your township should have already received the new information.

Contact the ITA if you have not received the new changes or log into this website and click SSI Forms.
