Easter Seals Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) is a work-based community service program for older workers, and has been 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 working to achieve this goal. Program participants train and work at community nonprofits and government agencies, gaining skills to prepare them for employment. 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 be job-ready.Easter Seals has nine affiliates working as sub-recipients of SCSEP; they served over 4,000 participants during fiscal year 2010 and successfully served many participants who were "most in need," as defined by the DOL. Participants included more than 300 over the age of 70; over 1,000 were homeless or at-risk of homelessness; over 650 participants had a disability; and over 570 participants had limited English proficiency. More than 400 participants exited the program during the year for paid employment, made possible through their participation in the SCSEP.During this same period, Easter Seals SCSEP participants provided over 2.4 million hours of community service hours to community and government agencies through their training assignments. These community service hours greatly benefit local communities in addition to training SCSEP participants. As the only national grantee with a Participant Advisory Council (PAC), the DOL noted in a recent review that this is a "positive practice, worthy of acknowledgement." The PAC is composed of a small group of energetic and dynamic participants from each recipient SCSEP. The PAC's intent is to provide support for SCSEP through the community, participants, and the workplace.

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: Part X: Easter Seals, an Ohio nonprofit corporation, 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). At December 31, 2010, there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities.
    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 XI, Line 8: Adjustment to reflect the funded status of the pension plan in accordance with the provisions of pension accounting rules.

Other Information Schedule F, Part V Part 1, Line 2: In December 2010, Easter Seals, Inc. made grants to three non-US disability service organizations that are closely associated with Easter Seals and its mission to support their efforts to improve and advance services and advocacy for people with disabilities and their families. The steps leading up to and following this allocation of funds are: 1) Grant-making process: Grants were made to the three disability services organizations with which Easter Seals, Inc. has an established relationship and history of collaboration. The grants made to the three foreign organizations were handled carefully and in accordance with Easter Seals' standing procedures and controls; the recommendation for funding was advanced by the Executive Vice President for Public Affairs, and approved by Easter Seals' Chief Operating Officer. Letters of agreement between Easter Seals, Inc. and each of the grantee organizations confirmed the grant purpose and amount and were signed by designated individuals at each organization, including the Chief Operating Officer at Easter Seals, Inc. Eligibility was limited to those non-US organizations with close mission, service and operational ties to Easter Seals, Inc. and with a history of collaboration on best practice advocacy, service delivery, and operational issues and activities. Selection criteria included: alignment with mutual goals, capacity to conduct useful activities, including those offered as examples, and satisfaction with previous inter-agency collaboration. 2) These grants and the execution of activities supported by these funds will be monitored through ongoing communications with designated contacts at each grantee organization and designated staff at Easter Seals, Inc. Additionally, grant funds are expected to support participation in a joint planning meeting in April 2011 and targeted training activities, so engagement in these activities will fulfill expectations, as recommended to grantees. Minutes of the in-person or telephonic meetings will be developed, circulated, and archived as appropriate. Communications about these activities will serve as the basis for reporting on progress of grant-funded efforts, with information about activities and outcomes shared with Easter Seals' stakeholders through online venues and formal reports to volunteer and executive leaders. Such communications will be prepared and disseminated through appropriate channels. 3) For each of the three grantees, the primary purpose of the grant and recommended activities there-in include: -participation in a joint meeting of executive leaders and key staff in Mexico City and jointly explores, plan for, and advance strategies for advancing health care access, quality and outcomes, as well as other priorities of mutual concern; -participation in distance learning and information resource dissemination with Easter Seals, Inc. and its global partners; -collaboration with Easter Seals, Inc. and its global partners to explore opportunities to expand Easter Seals' presence and contribution to improving the lives of people with disabilities and their families globally, to advance health and other goals established by United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. -For one grantee, the grant amount was set to allow the hosting of the joint meeting and one or more training sessions involving staff from that organization and selected Easter Seals affiliates. Grant amounts varied to reflect the roles and travel costs of the grant recipient organizations. Part I, Line 3, column 9f: The expenses were recognized under the accrual method. When the travel and training expenses were incurred the expenses were recognized. Part II, Line 1: The grants were recorded under the accrual method. The commitments were made in December 2010 and were paid by check in early 2011.
