Read this first

Benefit Almanac is an independent publication. We are not a government agency, not affiliated with one, and not authorized to act on behalf of one. We cannot tell you whether you qualify for anything.

Information only

Everything on this site is general information. It is not legal advice, tax advice, financial advice, or medical advice. Reading this site does not create any professional relationship.

Eligibility for a public benefit depends on facts we do not know about you. Only the agency that administers the program can determine whether you qualify. Confirm every figure with your state or county office before you apply or make a decision.

Figures change

Benefit amounts, income limits, and asset limits are revised on schedules that differ by program and by state. Federal poverty guidelines change each January. Some state unemployment maximums change each October. Legislatures amend programs mid-session.

Each page carries the date we last verified it. A figure accurate on that date may not be accurate today.

Programs end

Some programs described on this site have expired, and we mark those clearly. Others may end after we publish. We correct pages when we learn of a change, but we cannot guarantee that every page reflects the current status at the moment you read it.

Errors

We source figures from primary agency material and check them before publishing. We still make mistakes. If you find one, tell us and we will fix it.

We accept no liability for any loss arising from reliance on information published here.

Outside links

We link to agencies and other organizations so you can verify what we publish. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or availability.

No fees, ever

We never charge for information and we never request payment to help you apply. Every program described here is applied for directly with the administering agency, free of charge.

If anyone contacts you claiming to represent this site and asks for money or personal documents, it is not us.

Advertising

This site is supported by advertising. Advertisements are served by third parties and are not endorsements. We do not review advertisers and have no relationship with them.
