Who is eligible for services?

Services are available to individuals who are 55 and older. Requirements vary by state and might include a medical eye report verifying conditions and the status of employment. We encourage all to seek out services.

Because we are the Older Individuals who are Blind Technical Assistance Center (OIB-TAC), the links on this page are specific to individuals who are age 55 or older. In addition to the links found on this page, we encourage individuals with vision loss to inquire about potential services when they visit the eye doctor, including the Department Veterans Affairs (VA).

Resources

Each state and territory receives funding from the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) to provide independent living services to individuals age 55 and older with vision loss. These programs provide services for individuals who are younger and/or would like to maintain or return to work. When contacting your state services be sure to indicate if you would like to work as this will determine which program you are referred to.

Our Lessons for Living series gives helpful tips on navigating our world with blindness and low vision.

What are the costs of services?

While most services are provided free of charges, some do require a small cost. For example, when eye doctors provide services, charges will be submitted to medical insurance.

Who pays for adaptive devices? (adaptive services: services that provide reasonable accomodations)

While some states may assist or pay for adaptive devices, this is not guaranteed. If a device is not covered, you can search for other options to cover the cost of adaptive devices. If the cost of devices are not covered, individuals might inquire as to other options for covering the cost of adaptive devices.
