State & City Resources
Indianapolis, Indiana: Disability Resources
On This Page
Indianapolis residents can use local benefit offices, a regional aging and disability resource center, and IndyGo’s disability transit service. Match your address to the appropriate Marion County office and ask about the service area of any referral beyond Indianapolis.
Marion County Division of Family Resources
Indiana’s local DFR directory lists Marion County offices by ZIP code, including North, West, Central, East, and South locations. These offices help people apply for SNAP, TANF, and health coverage. Use the ZIP-code lookup before visiting, and ask which records or follow-up steps your case needs. The directory also links to the Benefits Portal and accessibility assistance.
CICOA Aging and In-Home Solutions
The state’s INconnect Alliance directory lists CICOA as an aging and disability resource center. Use the directory’s city lookup and regional contact information to start a discussion about long-term services and supports. Describe whether the need concerns your own daily activities or care for someone else, and ask which local programs have an appropriate assessment or application route.
IndyGo Access
IndyGo Access is a shared-ride service operating throughout Marion County. Eligibility depends on how disability affects use of regular transit, not age or inability to drive alone. Submit the client information and professional verification forms, then complete the scheduled in-person interview. Accessible formats are available. Confirm whether a trip falls in the standard ADA area or the premium area, since the services have different charges.
Before You Contact a Program
- Use your ZIP code to locate the appropriate Marion County DFR office.
- List the daily tasks or care arrangements you want to discuss with a resource counselor.
- Prepare both transit forms and explain barriers to using regular buses.
Keep Federal Benefits Separate
These local service contacts address different needs and do not submit an SSA claim. SSA’s Disability page[1] explains SSDI; SSA’s SSI overview[2] explains SSI. Apply for federal benefits through SSA. Starting a local service application does not file an SSDI or SSI claim.
