How do I find out which government benefits I might get?
Government benefits are run by many different agencies. The VA runs Veteran benefits. Social Security runs SSDI and Medicare sign-up. USDA runs SNAP and WIC. HUD runs housing vouchers. States help run Medicaid and CHIP. Each has its own rules, so it can be hard to know where to start.
Most programs look at a few of the same things: your age, whether you served, whether you have a disability, who lives with you, your income and where you live. This screener asks about each one and shows programs that may fit.
Income limits and rules for many programs, like SNAP and Medicaid, change by state and by household size. A match here is a starting point. The agency that runs the program makes the final decision when you apply.
