The Addus ACTS employee assistance fund is a tax-deductible program designed to assist employees through financial hardship resulting from catastrophic events beyond their control, when all other means of financial assistance has been exhausted. The Addus ACTS request selection committee is represented by members from all business lines, and some of the support departments, typically below the director level. This is truly a “For Employees by Employees Endeavor.”
Qualifying requests may include assistance for, but are not limited to the following:
- Disaster assistance (fires, floods, hurricanes, tornados)
- Basic living expenses due to a catastrophic event (food, utilities, etc.)
- Emergency situations involving deaths and medical catastrophes
- Housing assistance to prevent a mortgage foreclosure or eviction due to a catastrophic event
- Costs associated with being a victim of a crime
