GovBenefits.gov is a Web site that helps you determine if you, or someone you are helping, may be eligible to receive federal benefits or assistance. GovBenefits.gov is part of President Bush's eGovernment strategy to make it easier for citizens and businesses to interact with the government.
Launched in April 2002, GovBenefits.gov consolidates information about hundreds of federal asistance programs and federally funded programs managed by state and local governments currently spread across nearly 31 million federal government Web pages. New benefit programs are regularly added to the site.
How does it work?
GovBenefits.gov helps you access benefit eligibility information through a free, confidential, and easy to use online questionnaire. Based on how you answer these questions, you will receive a customized report listing the benefit programs for which you, or the person you are helping, may be eligible.
GovBenefits.gov helps any citizen, social service caseworker, person working for a professional or faith-based organization, community center, library, college or university, federal state or local benefits agency, or other interested party determine the full spectrum of benefit programs that are available. Whether it's a direct payment, loan, insurance, training, or other assistance, there may be a government benefit program that can help. |
