Benefits Programs for Older Americans on a Fixed Income

Dear PSA/Program Director,

Millions of older adults who are living on fixed incomes face tough choices: Do I pay for food, medicine, or rent? For those who are struggling to make ends meet, there are billions of dollars in benefits programs that can help—but few eligible older adults know they exist or how to apply.

The National Council on Aging (NCOA), a trusted national nonprofit advocating for older Americans since 1950, has created evergreen radio and TV PSAs in English and Spanish to connect older adults to benefits that can help them pay for food and other daily essentials such as prescriptions, utilities, transportation, taxes, and more.

These evergreen radio and TV PSAs feature BenefitsCheckUp.org and BuscaBeneficios.org, NCOA’s free, confidential websites that have helped older adults access millions in benefits.

Sincerely,
Simona Combi
