USA Today Names NCOA's BenefitsCheckUp.org a Cyberspace Gem

The National Council on Aging's (NCOA) BenefitsCheckUp.org was recently named the best retirement finance site on the Web by a group of USA Today staffers

The National Council on Aging's (NCOA) BenefitsCheckUp.org was recently named the best retirement finance site on the Web by a group of USA Today staffers.

Named one of the top five gems of personal-finance cyberspace, BenefitsCheckUp.org is a free and confidential service that enables older Americans and their caregivers to determine their eligibility for benefits programs. Since its inception in 2001, BenefitsCheckUp has served over two million seniors and found billions of dollars worth of benefits for those who qualify.



The USA Today staffers chose BenefitsCheckUp.org because:

- It provides information on more than 1,450 public and private benefits programs for seniors in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

- The site helps seniors or their caregivers enroll directly in the programs they are eligible for via printable and online application forms.

The newspaper also recognized four other personal finance websites, covering topics such as mutual funds and paying for college.
