Benefit Eligibility Screening Tool

The Social Security Administration has created an online benefit eligibility screening tool. I have not checked it out exhaustively, but it was able to identify the possibility of a disabled adult child claim for an older widow or widower, a possibility that would be missed by the average Social Security employee (no offense, guys -- I was looking for something that would be hard to catch).

Better to access from:

Since there might be something offered by another agency that you might be eligible to receive.

BEST has been around for a long time, and was always pretty sophisticated vis a vis identifying obscure potential possibilities.
