BenefitsCheckUp® is the nation’s most comprehensive online tool to connect older adults and people with disabilities to benefits assistance. The service makes it easy to see if you may be eligible—and then help you find out where to apply online or how to get help from a benefits counselor.

Start browsing benefits by entering your ZIP code and choose the categories that you’re most interested in. Once you have made your selections and click next, you’ll have the ability to review your initial results or enter more details to further personalize your options. For programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly Food Stamps), the Medicare Low-Income Subsidy, and Medicare Savings Programs, among others, additional information may be required to determine your eligibility.

Start Your Checkup

When clicking ‘See If You May Be Eligible’, the free, confidential tool will ask you additional questions to help determine your eligibility and will provide you with a personalized report. Once your ‘Eligibility Results’ report has been created, you can view it as a PDF, email it, go back and edit your answers, and you also have the option to screen for someone else.
