Benefits Assistance

Programs that provide assistance for people who are having difficulty understanding and/or obtaining grants, payments, services or other benefits for which they are eligible.

Included are benefits counseling organizations that offer a range of advocacy services and legal aid programs that offer more formalized legal assistance.
