Eligibility screener questions
What people ask before starting the screener.
Our screener checks federal and state programs most people qualify for and miss most often: SSDI and SSI, VA disability and healthcare, Medicare and Medicaid, SNAP food assistance, housing programs, energy bill help, family and child benefits, and survivor benefits. Results are personalized to your situation.
Most people finish in five to seven minutes. We only ask the questions we need to check the rules accurately. You can save and come back later if you create a free account, and your answers stay private on your device until you choose to save them.
Yes. The screener, all results, and the related guides are free. We make money when users choose to connect with vetted experts for hands-on help, but you never have to. You can take the results, file on your own, and never spend a dollar.
Yes. Your answers are stored on your device by default. If you create an account to save your results, we use encrypted connections and standard privacy protections. We never sell your information and you can delete your data at any time.
Start with the highest-value programs the screener flagged for you. Each result links to a plain-language guide that explains what to gather, where to apply, and what to expect. If a program is complex, like SSDI or VA disability, we point you to the right next tool.
For some programs yes, for others no. SSDI, VA disability, and SSI use formulas we can estimate from your inputs. Programs like SNAP and Medicaid depend on state rules and household details that change benefit amounts. We always show you how the estimate is calculated and how to verify it.
