USA.gov Benefits

Financial Assistance · Alaska · Free

Federal government's portal for finding benefits and assistance programs. Useful for older adults whose income dropped at retirement or after a spouse's death, and who don't know what they qualify for. Extra Help (Part D Low-Income Subsidy) can be applied for online at ssa.gov in under 15 minutes. Most seniors leave $5,000-10,000 a year in benefits on the table because no one tells them what they qualify for. Free, confidential, and available to any Alaska resident who needs the information.
