National Foundation for Credit Counseling

Financial Assistance · Massachusetts · Free

NFCC — find a nonprofit credit counselor in your area. Useful for older adults whose income dropped at retirement or after a spouse's death, and who don't know what they qualify for. Phone-based intake is often faster than online for seniors without computer access; most state agencies offer both. Most seniors leave $5,000-10,000 a year in benefits on the table because no one tells them what they qualify for. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
