The National Council on Aging’s Benefits CheckUp is a free, online service where seniors can search, learn more about, and apply for various federal and state programs. Seniors are able to plug in basic information, such as their zip code, into the online tool to help identify programs they may be eligible for. Additionally, seniors can seek assistance from a benefits counselor.

The federal and state government programs that are available to seniors can help alleviate the costs with housing, health care, prescription drugs and utilities, as well as other benefits, if qualified, to help save money and improve quality of life.

Amboy Bank has been dedicated to helping seniors in central New Jersey for over 135 years. Our branch staff is knowledgeable and can help walk you through the Benefits CheckUp process. For more information on how Amboy can help you, or a family member, match with the benefits available to you, please call us at 877-222-6269 or visit any of our 20+ locations throughout Middlesex and Monmouth Counties.
