About BenefitsCheckUp
BenefitsCheckUp is the nation’s most comprehensive online tool to connect older adults to benefits that can help them stay healthy and independent. It’s a free service of the National Council on Aging (NCOA), an organization committed to ensuring all Americans can age well.
Every year, billions of dollars in benefits go unclaimed because older adults don't know they’re eligible for programs or how to apply.
Since 2001, BenefitsCheckUp has been connecting older adults to programs that can help them afford nutritious food, prescriptions, health care, utilities, housing, and more.
BenefitsCheckUp is easy to use and 100% confidential. There’s no registration required.
Not sure where to start? Depending on your location, you can talk to a benefits enrollment specialist in person. It's free, confidential, and unbiased.
