How it works
Three steps. No jargon.
The whole thing takes about five minutes, and you can stop halfway and come back to it.
Tell us where they live
A ZIP code. Almost every program is run by a state or a county, so this one field decides more than anything else you will tell us.
Answer a few questions
Age range, what coverage is in place, whether there was military service, what is getting hard. One screen at a time, and not sure is always an option.
Get your list
Sorted by what is most worth your time, with the official source and checked date on every line, and the things to skip marked clearly.
What you get at the end
Not a directory dump. A short, ordered list of what is worth your time, with four possible states on each item:
- Likely worth contacting. You appear to meet the stated criteria. The agency still makes the final call.
- Worth contacting. Real uncertainty remains, and the uncertainty is explained rather than hidden.
- We do not know yet. Something is genuinely unknown, so we say so instead of guessing in either direction.
- Ruled out. A clear rule says no, and the rule is shown so you can challenge it.
Unknown never becomes a no. If we do not have a verified figure for your county, that is a gap in our coverage, not a finding about your family. Those are completely different things and we will never present one as the other.
What we never ask for
No Social Security number. No Medicare number. No insurance member ID or policy number. No bank details. No medication list, no diagnosis history, no photographs of insurance cards. None of it is needed to tell you which programs are worth a phone call, and asking for it would make us look like the scams this category is full of.
There is also no account, no password and no card. The privacy page describes what the site actually does, not what a template says.
How long it takes
About five minutes. Your answers save as you go, on your own device, so an interruption does not cost you the work. Come back later and it picks up where you left off.

Start with a ZIP code.
That is the whole first question.
