Desc	Easter Seals Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a work-based community service program for older workers, funded by the Department of Labor (DOL). Authorized by the Older American Act, the program provides subsidized, service-based training for low-income persons 55 or older, who are unemployed with poor employment prospects. SCSEP's mission is to promote economic self-sufficiency for older individuals seeking to achieve this goal. Program participants train at community nonprofits and government agencies, gaining skills to prepare them for employment.(See Schedule O for additional program information)In addition, Easter Seals provides program participants training to help them become job-ready; this can include resume workshops, interview workshops, job search assistance, and other supports to become job-ready.The U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (DOLETA) administers SCSEP by awarding grants to 15 non-profit organizations (including Easter Seals, Inc.) and to each of 56 state and territorial governments. Easter Seals, a national SCSEP grantee since 2003 had nine affiliate organizations working as sub-recipients of SCSEP during its 2014 program year. During program year 2014, Easter Seals served (2,515) participants and successfully trained many participants who were "most in need." Participants included (266) people over age 70; (1074) homeless or at-risk of homelessness; (764) with a disability; (300) were veterans; (321) participants had limited English proficiency; (529) tested with low literacy skills; and (1080) had an advanced education ranging from one year of college to doctoral degrees. (372) participants exited during the year for paid employment, with an average starting wage of ($11.02) per hour, made possible through their participation in the SCSEP. During this same period, Easter Seals SCSEP participants provided (1,081,214) million hours of community service hours to local not-for-profit and government agencies through their training assignments. These community service hours greatly benefit local communities in addition to training SCSEP participants.	Desc

Part V, Line 4:	The principal is to be invested in perpetuity with the interest to be spent for Easter Seals Inc. operating activities based on the board approved spending policy.
Part X, Line 2:	Easter Seals is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law, except for taxes pertaining to unrelated business income, if any. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, Easter Seals may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of Easter Seals and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the reporting periods presented in these financial statements. Easter Seals files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of Illinois. Easter Seals is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2011.
Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments:	Pension liability adjustments other than net periodic benefit cost 3,781,192.
