# DiscoverSeniorBenefits

> Free, source-cited eligibility checker that helps seniors and their caregivers find federal, state, and county benefit programs they may qualify for. Every program is tied to an official source and carries a "Last verified" date.

DiscoverSeniorBenefits is not a government agency. Eligibility is decided by deterministic rules tied to cited .gov sources; AI only writes the plain-English explanation. Results are estimates, not decisions. Not legal or financial advice. The agency makes the final eligibility decision.
