Many
older people need help paying for prescription drugs, health care, utilities
and other basic needs. Ironically, millions of older Americans — especially
those with limited incomes — are eligible for but not receiving benefits from
existing federal, state and local programs. Ranging from heating and energy assistance
to prescription savings programs to income supplements, there are many public
programs available to seniors in need if they only knew about them and how to
apply for them. Developed and
maintained by The National Council
on Aging (NCOA), BenefitsCheckUp
is the nation's most comprehensive Web-based service to screen for benefits
programs for seniors with limited income and resources.
