National Foundation for Credit Counseling

Financial Assistance · Michigan · Free

NFCC — find a nonprofit credit counselor in your area. A first stop for families discovering the senior never applied for benefits they've qualified for, sometimes for years. Benefits screening tools take 10–15 minutes and surface programs by name with application links and contact information. Most seniors leave $5,000-10,000 a year in benefits on the table because no one tells them what they qualify for. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
