While many older people need help paying for health care, millions of them are eligible for, but not receiving, benefits from existing federal, state, and local programs. On this site, developed and maintained by The National Council on Aging (NCOA), seniors with limited income and resources can search, be pre-screened, and apply for, a host of benefits programs.
The site contains questionnaires that request information such as your age, residency, income, health conditions, what medications you are taking, as well as any special circumstances, for example, whether you are a veteran. Based on your answers, the site recommends which benefits plans you are eligible for, or believes you should compare.
There is adequate on-screen help content that provides background information to help you answer the questions as accurately as possible. The text is large and easy to read, and the layout is clear and easily navigated, making the site extremely accessible. Once your plans are selected, the site also provides you with links to pertinent fact sheets and worksheets.
