Understanding Benefits Participation in Your Area

Benefits Access

NCOA's new tool shows participation rates for older adults enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medicare Savings Programs (MSP), and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Get started by selecting specific areas to see how they compare to national and state averages. 

Use BenefitsCheckUp® to Find Money-Saving Benefits

Older adults living in or near the poverty level are eligible for billions of dollars of unclaimed benefits. These unclaimed benefits are not for everyone, but if you’re a Benefits Enrollment Center working with older adults, , you can help them find out if they qualify.
