What the Benefits Match Quiz Does
The Benefits Match Quiz screens your household for more than 30 federal and state benefit programs in a single 5–10 minute session. Enter your household size, state, income, and current benefit status — the quiz checks your eligibility against current program guidelines and shows you which programs you likely qualify for, with direct links to apply.
Programs Covered
The quiz screens for: SNAP (food assistance), Medicaid, CHIP, Medicare Savings Programs, Extra Help (Part D), TANF, LIHEAP, Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, SNAP for seniors, EITC, Child Tax Credit, Lifeline phone, WAP weatherization, and more. Results are customized to your state since eligibility rules vary.
