The National Council on the Aging has created BenefitsCheckUp to help older adults to quickly identify programs that may improve the quality of their lives. Family and friends can also obtain facts about benefits that their loved ones may qualify for. Chances are, you will be surprised to learn what benefits are available to you, regardless of your income.
A Cooperative Effort of the National Institute on Aging and the Administration on Aging has created How to Find Help - The Resource Directory for Older People.
