BenefitsCheckUp
Run by National Council on Aging (NCOA), a national nonprofitWhat it is
BenefitsCheckUp is a free, confidential online tool that helps older adults and people with disabilities search for benefit programs they might be able to get, based on their ZIP code and situation. It points you toward programs for food, medicine, utilities, and other costs.
What it may help with
may help with finding benefit programs you might qualify for near you — it screens; you still apply and confirm with each program (helpline 1-800-794-6559).
The official page
