Financial Assistance · Connecticut · Free

Free NCOA tool to find Connecticut benefits programs you may qualify for. Built for low-income seniors and adults with disabilities applying for SSI, SSDI, food assistance, energy aid, and prescription help. Phone-based intake is often faster than online for seniors without computer access; most state agencies offer both. VA Aid & Attendance can add up to ,800/month to a wartime veteran's pension or surviving spouse's pension — most never apply. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
