Benefits Enrollment Center

Millions of older adults who are eligible are missing out on benefits programs that can help pay for healthcare, prescriptions, food, utilities, and more. These benefits can help you save money and stay healthy, active, and independent in your home and community.

The Aging & Disability Resource Center is now a National Council on Aging Benefits Enrollment Center. This means we are experts in connecting older adults and people with disabilities with benefits programs that can help pay for health care, medicine, food, utilities, and more.

BenefitsCheckUp: What It Is

BenefitsCheckUp is the nation’s most comprehensive tool to connect older adults and people with disabilities to benefits assistance. We’ll make it easy to see if you may be eligible—and then help you apply or connect you with a benefits counselor.

BenefitsCheckUp helps assess whether you can get help from programs before you apply. All you have to do is answer a few simple questions to find out if you may be eligible for programs that can ‘boost your budget’ by thousands of dollars each year. We’ll check your eligibility for programs like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medicaid, Medicare Savings Programs, Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), and Part D Low-Income Subsidy (Extra Help), among others.

  • The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the largest federal food assistance program, helping individuals, families, and people with disabilities buy food to maintain good health. We’ll see if you’re eligible to get help paying for groceries.
  • Older adults spend on average over $600 a year on prescription drugs. We’ll explore prescription assistance benefits from Medicare, states, and drug manufacturers to help pay for your medications at the pharmacy.
  • We can also connect you with other programs and services like the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC), transportation programs, money management programs, farmer’s market coupons and more!
