Published at 8:00 am, October 28, 2023Question:Dear Savvy Senior,What types of programs are available to help seniors struggling with their everyday bills, and how do I go about finding them? It will help you find federal, state and local benefits programs that can assist with paying for food, utilities, health care, medications, housing and many other needs. To identify benefits, you’ll first need to type in your ZIP code and choose the types of benefits you’re interested in. Utility assistance: There’s the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) that provides assistance in lowering home heating and cooling costs. You can also search for prescription drug help through patient assistance programs or your state pharmaceutical assistance program at Medicare.gov.
