The program is administered by the Illinois Department on Aging through the Area Agencies on Aging, which are responsible for implementation at the local level.SCSEP places enrollees - usually 20 hours a week at minimum wage - in community service or not-for-profit agencies where they can remain productive and independent by contributing their talent and services to their communities while earning a modest income.
