Michigan BenefitsCheckUp

Financial Assistance · Michigan · Free

Free NCOA tool to find Michigan benefits programs you may qualify for. 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. 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.
