Patient Advocate Foundation

Financial Assistance · Nebraska · Free

Case management and financial aid for people with chronic, life-threatening, or debilitating illness. Useful for older adults whose income dropped at retirement or after a spouse's death, and who don't know what they qualify for. LIHEAP applications open in late fall in most states; apply early — funds run out before the cold sets in. SSDI back pay can be substantial — the application takes 3-5 months on average, but benefits date back to the disability onset. Free of charge — no eligibility paperwork...
