See what benefits you might be missing out on
Millions of Americans qualify for government benefits they don't know about — or don't think they qualify for. There are over 2,000 federal, state, and local programs designed to help with healthcare, food, housing, utilities, education, and more.
Many people assume they make too much money or don't fit certain criteria. Often, they're wrong. It costs nothing to check.
Medicaid, CHIP, ACA subsidies, prescription assistance
SNAP, WIC, school meal programs, food banks
Section 8, public housing, rental assistance, down payment help
LIHEAP, phone discounts, internet assistance
Pell Grants, student loan forgiveness, job training
EITC, Child Tax Credit, energy credits
Honestly? Everyone. But especially:
These programs exist to help people. There's no shame in using them — you've paid taxes for them. If you qualify, use them. It's not a handout, it's what they're designed for.
