Assistance is available to Indiana Department of Correction employees, contract staff members, or their immediate family members to provide short-term immediate monetary assistance should they suffer a serious loss as a result of a natural disaster or catastrophic accident, or an employee dies at the workplace or otherwise while on duty.
The intended purpose of any monetary assistance given from the fund under these circumstances is to ensure employees and their immediate families are able to continue to receive the benefit of the necessities of life immediately following an unexpected catastrophic event.
This fund is not intended to be insurance against losses or damage.
