USA.gov Benefits

Financial Assistance · New Jersey · Free

Federal government's portal for finding benefits and assistance programs. 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. All services free of charge to qualifying seniors and family caregivers.
