The Illinois Cash & Counseling Demonstration Project offers consumer-direction in four geographic locations in Illinois selected to represent the rural, urban, small cities and mixed areas. In those areas, consumer-direction is offered as a service option to all seniors who are eligible for Illinois' Community Care Program (CCP), including Medicare and non-Medicaid eligible seniors.

Enrollment began in May 2007.
