Eligibility for the Indigency and Incentive Programs is based on total income as determined by the federal poverty level defined by the US Department of Health and Human Services. A surcharge is applied when a driver accumulates six (6) points or more. The driver must pay $100 for the first six (6) points and $25 for each additional point. Under these programs, the new reduced balance must be paid in full within six months. If the balance is not paid in full by the due date, driving privileges will be suspended until it is. Partial payments plus a $2.50 service fee will be accepted during the six month grace period.
