Benefits Information-General
BenefitsCheckUp.org is the first of its kind, web-based service designed to help seniors, their families and caregivers find the right benefits programs to meet their needs. The site contains a fast, free and confidential screening tool to determine eligibility for nearly 1,000 unique state and federal programs and provide detailed instructions on how to apply for them. Seniors or members of their family can fill out a confidential questionnaire at BenefitsCheckUp.org which then compares their information with eligibility requirements for federal programs such as Social Security, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and Weatherization or state administered programs such as Vocational Rehabilitation and In-Home Services. Users then receive a printable report that tells them which programs they may likely qualify for and where to go to enroll.
