Our Benefits Assistance services are designed to give you a boost to your finances during times of need. We are a National Benefits Enrollment Center, which means we can assist people age 50+ with applying for the following programs: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medicare Savings, Extra Help, and Medicaid.
