Social Security, SSI, Medicare, Veterans Benefits and More
The U.S. government offers the http://www.benefits.gov website to screen for almost all federal programs. These include Social Security, SSI, Medicare, veterans, education, housing, and tax benefits. Because it covers several hundred programs, there are many questions to answer.
The website will ask questions based on your answers. For example, if you say there are no children in your household, questions concerning programs for children or families with children will not appear.
