Services for Older Americans—Benefits Check-Up
The One Stop Career Link Center offers the Benefits Check-Up services for older Americans. Many older Americans need help paying for prescription drugs, health care, utilities and other basic needs. Ironically, millions of older Americans — especially those with limited incomes — are eligible for, but not receiving, these benefits from existing federal, state and local programs. Ranging from heating and energy assistance to prescription savings programs and income supplements, there are many public programs available to seniors in need.Benefits Check-up is the nation's most comprehensive Web-based service to screen for benefits programs for seniors with limited income and resources and provide information on how to apply for them.
Benefits Check-Up includes more than 2,000 public and private benefits programs from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, such as:
• Prescription drugs
• Nutrition (including Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP)/Food Stamps)
• Energy assistance
• Financial
• Legal
• Health care
• Social Security
• Housing
• In-home services
• Tax relief
