Step one

Start with your ZIP code and what you need

Government and nonprofit programs first, commercial offers clearly marked.

Popular searches

Your ZIP code is used only to narrow what we show you. Nothing is submitted anywhere, no account is created, and we do not ask for personal details to search.

Popular benefit categories

Twelve places to start looking.

Every category collects government programs, nonprofit services and clearly labelled commercial offers side by side — so you can compare what exists before deciding where to spend your time.

See local resources

All twelve categories

Select the ones that matter to you — your picks carry straight into the three questions below, so you never answer the same thing twice.

Personalized starting point

Three questions. No account. No guesswork.

Tell us a little about your situation and we will point you toward the categories worth exploring first. Nothing you enter here leaves your browser, and nothing here decides anything for you.

  • We never tell you that you qualify or are eligible. Only the agency, nonprofit or company running a program can determine what applies to you.
  • Answers stay on this device. No sign-up, no email address, no phone number, no sales call.
  • Under a minute. Save what looks promising and pick it back up whenever you have time.

Who are we looking for?

Pick the one that fits best. You can change it at any time.

Government & nonprofit

Public programs, listed plainly.

Government and nonprofit listings are always shown first, on their own visual footing, and every one links to the official application website. Nothing in this section is sponsored, and no company can pay to appear here.

SNAP food assistance

USDA Food & Nutrition Service · administered by your state

LIHEAP home energy assistance

U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services · state offices

Help with home heating and cooling bills, and in many states with weatherization or an energy crisis such as a shut-off notice. Each state opens and closes its own application window, so timing matters more than almost anything else.

Medicaid & CHIP coverage

Health coverage for adults, children, families, seniors and people with disabilities, run by each state under federal rules. Names, rules and renewal schedules vary widely from one state to the next, and applications are accepted year-round.

Commercial lane

The commercial side, clearly marked.

Everything below is a commercial offer from a business — not a government or nonprofit program. It sits in its own band, with its own colour and its own dashed, ticket-shaped cards, so a coupon can never be mistaken for public assistance.

Commercial offers

Advertising disclosure. Every listing in this section is a commercial offer. Listings marked Sponsored are paid placements — the advertiser paid for the position, and it was not ranked on merit. Listings marked Affiliate relationship may earn See Benefits Now a commission if you sign up, at no additional cost to you. Paid placement never affects how government or nonprofit programs are described or ordered elsewhere on this site, and no offer here is an endorsement. Terms, availability and any saving are set by the advertiser and can change at any time.

Grocery & household

Digital coupon and cashback programs

Weekly digital and printable coupon bundles from national grocery and drugstore chains, loaded to a store loyalty card before you shop.

Commercial offer Affiliate relationship

Savings vary by store and week. Terms and availability are set by the retailer.

Pharmacy

Prescription discount cards

Free-to-carry cards accepted at many pharmacy counters when you are paying cash for a prescription — before a deductible is met, or when a drug is not covered.

Commercial offer Sponsored

Not insurance. Pricing varies by drug and pharmacy, and cannot be combined with insurance.

Home internet

Low-cost internet and mobile plans

Entry-level home internet and prepaid mobile plans, including reduced-rate plans offered by some providers, several of which also accept the federal Lifeline discount.

Commercial offer Sponsored

Availability depends on your address. The provider sets its own terms, pricing and service area.

Insurance

Auto and home quote comparison

Answer a set of questions once and compare quotes from participating carriers side by side, instead of repeating yourself on five different websites.

Rates are set by the insurer. Quotes and coverage decisions come from the carrier, not from us.

    Move each item from Interested through to Approved, and mark the ones that need renewing, so nothing falls through the cracks between one month and the next.

Why it matters

Support goes unclaimed for the dullest reasons.

A missed renewal date. A form abandoned halfway. A waiting list that opened for two weeks in March. A program nobody mentioned. Discovery is the hard part, and it is the part we set out to fix.

Anything you save on this page is stored in this browser only — we are not holding an account for you behind the scenes, and free accounts are not open yet.

Know what you are reading

Where every listing comes from — and what we are not.

See Benefits Now is not a government agency, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency.

We are a private, independently operated directory. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any federal, state, tribal or local government agency or program, and we do not administer any benefit.

We do not accept applications, we do not decide who receives assistance, and we never charge for information about a government program. Applying for a government program is always free, and you never have to pay anyone — including us — to apply on your behalf.

Independent · Free to browse Government and nonprofit listings can never be bought. Commercial placements are labelled on every card, every time.

What we do

  • Gather programs, services and offers into one searchable place
  • Explain each one in plain language, without jargon
  • Link every public program to its official application website
  • Label who runs each listing: government, nonprofit, or commercial
  • Show when each listing was last reviewed by our team

What we do not do

  • Tell you that you qualify, are eligible, or will be approved
  • Promise any benefit, amount, timeline or outcome
  • Accept, submit or track applications on your behalf
  • Charge for access to programs that are free to apply for
  • Sell your personal information

How we are funded

  • Some commercial listings are sponsored — paid placements
  • Some links are affiliate links that may earn us a commission
  • Paid placements are labelled and kept in their own section
  • Payment never changes the order or presence of a public listing
  • Your price is never higher because you came through us
