Florida Ignition Interlock Financial Assistance

You may qualify for ignition interlock financial assistance in Florida through our indigent program. Some of these benefits include free installation, free removal, and low monthly payments. Getting the right interlock device for your vehicle doesn’t mean that you have to spend a lot of money. While there are a lot of options, Nationwide Interlock (RoadGuard’s Service Provider) provides great benefits and features while minimizing your costs.

Indigent Program Eligibility Requirements

The requirements for the indigent program include showing proof that you currently receive assistance from one of the programs listed below. Eligible programs include:

  • Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP; food stamps)
  • Supplemental security income (SSI)
  • Low-income home energy assistance program (LIHEAP).
  • Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)

People who are on assistance and facing the reality of complying with Florida’s ignition interlock program need all the help they can get. Nationwide Interlock is here to help you get through your ignition interlock requirement and get you back on the road. Let’s look at what an ignition interlock device is and how it works.

Ignition Interlock Devices

The actual device that will be installed in your vehicle functions a lot like a breathalyzer. When you start the vehicle, you will have to blow into the mouthpiece connected to the ignition interlock device. It will then measure your breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) and automatically determine whether to allow the car to start.

If your alcohol concentration exceeds a specified legal level, the ignition interlock device temporarily prevents your vehicle from starting. Our interlock devices are specifically designed to not get in your way, so you can spend more time driving safely and less time interacting with the device. Once your ignition interlock requirement is complete, the device is removed, and you can get back to normal life. Let’s look at the fees associated with Nationwide Interlock.

 

Interlock Device Fees and Benefits

Common fees with installation can vary a bit for most interlock devices. There is also a monthly calibration and monitoring fee of about the same price. For people eligible for the indigent program, the ignition interlock installation and removal is free, and the monthly services are only about $50.00. This makes Nationwide Interlock a very affordable option for those that qualify.
