National Council on Aging Benefits Checkup

​

Many older Americans have difficulty making ends meet. Some may be unable to pay for prescriptions or heating.

The good news is that there is help for older Americans. Programs at the federal, state and local level can provide assistance.

​

So if you need help, visit BenefitsCheckUp. First, you can apply for prescription drug coverage through Medicare.

Then, find more benefits programs that will help with utility bills, food, health care and other needs. You can also apply for these programs from the site.
