Adult volunteers are needed to provide care and attention to hospice patients in Macomb.

Harbor Light Hospice is a philosophy of care that assists patients, family, and friends during the final stages of a terminal illness. We promote dignity and emphasize quality of life for those who choose to die in familiar surroundings with those they love. Even though hospice patients may be nearing the end of their life, they are still very much alive and have the same needs and wants as all the rest of us. No set schedule; volunteers choose how often to visit. Whether it’s watching TV, reading, or simply being present, trained volunteers make a genuine difference in offering meaningful support to the patient and the family.

Comments:
Strong need for volunteers for Countryview Care Center in Macomb. Requires valid driver’s license, auto insurance, and will conduct background check. Free training.

Eligibility:	Must meet income and asset guidelines. Must apply in the township of residence
Area Served:	Geographic area of each township as listed on the following page
Services Provided:	Financial assistance for food, shelter, personal supplies, utilities, clothing. Medical assistance for qualifying General Assistance clients.
Comments:	Persons/family units receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families/TANF from the Illinois Department of Human Services or persons receiving Supplemental Security Income/SSI are not eligible to receive General Assistance as they are currently receiving an allocated amount of assistance from another tax funded agency. Clients are encouraged to register for food stamps. A qualifying applicant must be actively seeking and available for full-time employment. Recipients not working 25 hours or more per week must participate in a Work Program of 32 1/2 hours per month-scheduled between 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, at participating governmental or not-for-profit locations. Also, they must register with the Illinois Employment Services and seek employment. Qualifying recipients are eligible for medical care effective the date of acceptance. The township office has a 30 day time frame to establish eligibility of an applicant or to mail a denial of the application stating a specific non-qualifying factor(s). "WORKFARE" is a term meaning a program established by Illinois law under which recipients of General Assistance, who are mentally and physically able, may be required to perform work within their abilities in return for the welfare or assistance payment(s) they will receive. It does not mean a regular job will be found for them. Instead, they "work off" their assistance by receiving credit for each hour worked as though they were earning the state minimum wage. Recipients are not paid for this work as they will be "paid" the amount of their assistance and are simply trading their labor for hte help they receive. Some type of work can be found suitable for nearly every recipient. Therefore the likelihood of being required to work off the assistance amount is very great. Assistance may be denied anyone able to participate who refuses to do so.

State of Illinois CHIP Program

STATE OF ILLINOIS CHIP PROGRAM

The State of Illinois Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan, better known as CHIP, is a state insurance program for persons who are unable to obtain individual health insurance due to the existence or history of a medical condition or have presumptive medical condition which is presumed by law to result in an automatic rejection by an insurance company. Participants must pay their own health insurance premiums to receive coverage.

There are two parts to the program: (1) the Traditional CHIP Pool which is open to persons who cannot purchase private insurance, are not eligible for Medicaid, and are not covered by group insurance, and (2) the HIPPAA-CHIP Pool which is only open to persons who have had group health insurance for at least 18 months prior to applying for CHIP, have not had a break of more than 62 days in coverage, and have recently exhausted any COBRA continuation rights as well as meet all of the requirements of the Traditional CHIP Pool.

Participants have a lifetime maximum in benefits of $1 million with an average annual premium of $4200 according to 2000 reports. Premiums charged by CHIP are currently set at 135 percent of the average rates charged in the individual health insurance market in Illinois. Premiums vary by gender, age, geographic area, deductible amount, and type of plan. Persons apply directly to the programs and applications can be requested from the CHIP Board Office at 1-800-962-8384.

The Traditional CHIP Pool program currently has a waiting list for new participants because the funds allocated to the program are limited each year. However, for persons eligible for HIPAA-CHIP, state and federal law require that there will be no limitation on enrollment and no waiting lists.
