The AARP Foundation recently launched a new online public benefits screening tool that makes it easier for older Americans to find out if they qualify for the 15 most important public benefits for older Americans and for families with children.
Benefits QuickLINK is powered by BenefitsCheckUp, a service of the National Council on Aging.
Connecting Families with Benefits
Millions of Americans are eligible for public and private benefits programs that can help them stay healthy, cover basic expenses, assist older relatives, and support children in their care—but they do not access them. The mission of AARP Foundation Benefits QuickLINK is to help Americans 50+ and their families connect with public and private benefits for which they are eligible.
A Resource for Many
Benefits QuickLINK is a resource for thousands of families, older Americans with limited incomes or serious health issues, and the organizations that serve them.

- Grandparents raising grandchildren find public benefits for families with children.
- 50+ parents find public benefits to support their children.
- Sons and daughters find public benefits in the state their parents live.
- Americans 50+ with limited incomes find and get applications for public benefits.
