24-Hour Resource for Citizens

It?s fast. It?s easy. It?s open 24 hours. Benefits.gov connects people in need to government assistance programs. Benefits.gov (https://www.benefits.gov/) is the official benefits web site of the U.S. government. The site provides citizens with a central location to find more than 1,000 federal and state benefit programs that meet their needs. The Web site includes information for disasters or other emergencies, employment services, small-business loans and more. Please share this information with your staff and volunteers, and most importantly, the people you serve. To help us spread awareness about this resource, please consider adding a link to www.Benefits.gov from your Web site, and distributing posters and brochures. Ordering free Benefits.gov
materials is simple.
