Worry Less and Age Better
with BenefitsCheckUp
®
Millions of older adults miss out on saving
money through public and private benefits simply
because they don't apply. The National Council on
Aging offers a program called BenefitsCheckUp®
which helps make it easy for you to find programs
you may be eligible for.
What Is BenefitsCheckUp?
n Benefits CheckUp® is the nation's most
comprehensive online tool to connect older adults
and people with disabilities to benefits. It is a free,
confidential online tool that helps older adults and
people with disabilities find benefits programs
they might be eligible for depending on their
location.
Benefits Enrollment Centers (BECs) help lowincome
Medicare beneficiaries enroll in all the
benefits they may be missing. They also help
seniors and younger adults with disabilities to
apply for other programs, such as Supplemental
Security Income, State Pharmaceutical Assistance
Programs, local transportation assistance, tax
relief, and more.
n The Center for Benefits Access supports a
network of Benefits Enrollment Centers (BECs)
around the country to help low-income people
with Medicare access programs that pay for
healthcare, food, and more. Using web-based tools
