Jessie worked most of her life doing agricultural labor, until a work accident left her disabled. Suddenly, she was struggling to get by on $1,200 a month. Luckily, Jessie found Centura Health LINKS, a Colorado Benefits Enrollment Center supported by NCOA. Using NCOA’s BenefitsCheckUp®, Jessie’s benefits counselor found that she qualified for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to help pay for food, plus a Medicare Savings Program to help pay her Part B premium. All told, Jessie added $300 to her monthly budget.

Every month, Gladys faced the same agonizing dilemma. After paying for rent, Medicare, and medicine, she had just $126 left for food, heat, and other needs. At her senior center, the 76-year-old heard about the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and got connected to a benefit counselor at AgeOptions in Illinois, an NCOA partner. Using NCOA’s BenefitsCheckUp®, the counselor discovered that Gladys could get SNAP—plus other benefits—adding $768 to her income every month. “There is a whole lot of stuff that I haven’t had before, and that’s a blessing,” Gladys said.

Due to multiple health issues, Rebecca had to go on disability at age 60. She soon found herself lonely and depressed. Then she heard about NCOA’s nearby SCSEP office. “I started working … and it has changed my life,” Rebecca said. “I am editing, writing, and doing public relations work as I had in the past. I love my job and am very grateful to NCOA for the chance to use my skills and make some extra money.”
