The Benefits Counseling Program
The Benefits Counseling Program trains volunteers to help people over age 60, or persons with disabilities, find resources to help them stay in their homes as long as possible. Benefits Counselors also help people apply for benefits that help them save money, like Fuel Assistance or Food Stamps.
Benefits Counselors:
- Provide basic information on resources
- Help with the application process and forms
- Make referrals to agencies and organizations that may help.
- Educate people on resources
Benefits Counselors are volunteers from Franklin County and North Quabbin towns who work in their own community and create their own schedule. Basic computer skills are needed.
