We have 11 offices around the state to serve people where they live. Our clients have “high stakes” problems, such as domestic violence, eviction
or foreclosure, denial of hard-earned benefits such as unemployment, inability to get critically needed health care or food aid, and many more. Our work is to assure that low income people have access to justice and opportunities out of poverty.”

Subject: BEC Listserv: Quick survey on a National Benefits Day
Hi friends—
NCOA would love your input on an exciting new event that we plan to launch next year.
In response to several suggestions from the field, we’d like to kick off an annual Check Your Benefits Day/Benefits Awareness Day to unite organizations across the country under one common brand/theme and drive more individuals to community
and online tools that can help them learn about, screen, and apply for money-saving programs. NCOA has been successful as the coordinator of an annual Falls Prevention Awareness Day for nearly a decade, and we hope to apply the same concept to our benefits
work.
Anyone helping low-income Medicare beneficiaries to access benefits would be encouraged—and provided tools/resources from NCOA—to host a range of outreach and enrollment activities corresponding to the Day, as suits their communities. We’re
anticipating the inaugural event to occur in April 2020.
As we begin to shape this effort, we would like to know more about your interest in participating or hosting activities in your community as part of this campaign.
Please complete this brief, 7 question survey to offer your ideas:
