One Free Quiz Can Show You Every Benefit You May Qualify For
Benefits.gov has a single questionnaire that checks you against dozens of federal and state programs. It is free, and no one should charge you to use it.

There may be help you have not claimed yet
If money is tight this summer, you are not alone. And you may be leaving real help on the table simply because you did not know it was there.
The government runs many programs to help with food, housing, health care, energy bills, child care, and more. The hard part is knowing which ones fit your life. That is where a single free tool can save you hours.
Benefits.gov offers one questionnaire that matches you to programs you may qualify for. You answer some questions, and it points you toward help across many categories at once.
How the Benefits Finder works
The Benefits.gov Benefit Finder asks about your situation. Things like your household, income range, and needs.
Based on your answers, it shows a list of federal and state programs you may be eligible for. It does not decide your case. Instead, it hands you a starting list so you can apply directly with each program.
You do not give your name or Social Security number to get results. The quiz is anonymous, and it is completely free to use.
Watch out for anyone who charges a fee
Official government benefit programs are free to check and free to apply for. Benefits.gov never charges you.
Some websites and companies try to charge people for help that the government gives away. You do not need to pay a middleman to find or apply for benefits. If a site asks for a payment to see if you qualify, close it.
OpenFinancial is not a government agency and not a bank. We just point you to the free, official path so you can take the next step yourself.
