Financial Assistance · Tennessee · Free

Small emergency grants for low-income workers facing temporary crisis. Worth contacting for anyone facing eviction, utility shutoff, or a sudden out-of-pocket prescription cost they can't cover. Extra Help (Part D Low-Income Subsidy) can be applied for online at ssa.gov in under 15 minutes. VA Aid & Attendance can add up to ,800/month to a wartime veteran's pension or surviving spouse's pension — most never apply. Open at no cost to Tennessee seniors and the families supporting them.
