Get a benefits checkup with the COA
Would you like to know what government programs you might be eligible for that you might be missing? Call the Council on Aging at 781-259-8811 to make an appointment to come down and have a benefits checkup courtesy of BenefitsCheckUp.org. You can fill out a form at home, and then bring it in so that one of the COA staff can enter it into a special program developed by the National Council on Aging. You’ll then learn which among the nearly 200 programs covered by BenefitsCheckUp you may qualify for. Programs include Social Security, Alzheimer’s programs, caregiver and respite services, education and employment programs, help with housing and foreclosures, pension assistance, Medicare and other health insurance, health care and dental services, programs for those with disabilities, transportation programs and more.
