Program details

How it works

The Illinois Department of Revenue’s Programs page lists Disaster Relief as a revenue program. The page describes it as relief that is available when taxpayers cannot file or pay on time as a result of disasters.

What the money covers

The only benefit stated on the page is a waiver of penalties and interest. The page does not describe any grant, rebate, loan, or other direct payment for repairs, mitigation, or home hardening.

Amounts and matching

The page does not give a dollar amount, percentage, match requirement, or cap. It only says penalties and interest may be waived.

How to apply

The page is only a program listing. It does not provide application steps, forms, or filing instructions.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not list an application deadline, disaster declaration trigger, or other timing rules.

Other notes

The page does not say which disasters qualify beyond using the general term “disasters,” and it does not provide homeowner-specific details.
