One-Stop Shopping for Senior Benefits

From Sharon O'Brien, About.com Guide   August 28, 2010

Could you use some financial help paying for prescriptions, health care, meals, and more? Are you looking for senior housing options?

Many people don't know that local, state and federal programs exist to help older adults with bills, prescription drugs, housing, Medicare and more.

To help seniors find the resources they need, the National Council on Aging has developed a comprehensive Benefits Checkup site that will help you locate assistance programs and determine if you qualify for assistance. The page offers large print and an easy-to-follow format, making the process of finding and applying for assistance much easier.
