GovBenefits.gov is the official benefits Web site of the U.S. government. The site provides citizens with quick access to the most accurate information on more than 1,000 federal and federally funded state benefit and assistance programs.
GovBenefits.gov was designed to help Americans navigate the often complicated process of finding benefit and assistance programs, determining eligibility and finding contact information.
After completing the site’s free and confidential questionnaire, you can review a list of benefit programs that — based on individual needs — you may be eligible to join. Each option includes a program description, eligibility criteria and contact information. The site also offers the ability to search for benefit programs by state, keyword and benefit category.
Visit www.govbenefits.gov regularly, especially when life events — like applying for college, retirement or disability — occur. Changes in your situation could make you, or someone you know, eligible for assistance programs.
