I'm not sure which state you are in, but, in my state, services for those in need are all processed through our County/state Dept. of Social Services. Call yours or your counsel on aging to find out who processes your county's applications for seniors.

Here, this one application will apply the applicant for all services, like Medicaid Medical, help with energy bills, food stamps, Extra Help on their Medication Supplemental coverage premiums, free phone, counseling, etc. It does depend on income and assets. I might speak with an expert, like an attorney or Medicaid expert to get information, BEFORE I applied.
