The BenefitsCheckUp

The BenefitsCheckUp is the nation's first 50-state (including the District of Columbia) online service to provide public benefit screening. BenefitsCheckUp is the brainchild of the current President and CEO of The National Council on the Aging (NCOA). He along with many others brought his vision to life.

BenefitsCheckUp was developed to address a concerning problem: millions of older adults are eligible for benefits, but not receiving them. Ranging from health coverage to supplemental income to help in paying utility bills, there are millions of older adults who could benefit from a wide array of public programs if they knew about them and how to apply for them.
