Are You or a Senior You Know Eligible For Benefits?

This article was published in our monthly Elderlaw News E-Newsletter, but thought it was so important it was worth pointing out again! this information could be useful to our clients and their families.  

"How to Track Down Financial Assistance Programs for Seniors," was posted on NBC's Savvy Senior page  

http://www.savvysenior.org/article_20120430.htm?type=quicklink.

The article suggests ways you can take advantage of over $20 billion in aid that millions of seniors are missing out on "simply because they aren't aware or savvy in navigating these helpful assistance programs." The first step this article suggests in identifying possible benefit programs available to you is to complete a free and confidential easy, 15-minute, on-line benefits check questionnaire at benefitscheckup.org. This on-line questionnaire will ask about your basic information, expenses, income, and assets. After completion, the service will provide you with a detailed report advising you of programs you may be eligible for from over 2,000 federal, state, and private benefit programs nation-wide and details on how to apply for each individual program. These programs could financially assist you in prescription drug costs, health care, utilities, and other basic needs. Visit the article for more information.
