Benefits Checkup

The National Center for Benefits Outreach and Enrollment is compiling a database of promising practices related to benefits outreach and enrollment. We encourage you to help us build this clearinghouse and share your good work with others so that tactics that are effective in one community can be adopted in other areas.

• Please use this form to share your promising practice with the Center. Once submitted to us for review, someone from the Center will contact you about your entry. Thank you for taking the opportunity to share your successful practices and strategies!
  
  
• Review promising practices and cost-effective strategies that can strengthen your local or state efforts to increase access to benefits for seniors and younger adults with disabilities.
