The money that goes unclaimed is real
These are established Massachusetts programs. The problem isn't eligibility — it's that nobody hands older residents a clear, personal list of what they qualify for.
$2,820
Senior Circuit Breaker credit
Per year, refundable — and you can often amend up to 3 prior years.
$0
Asset test for Medicare savings
The state can pay the Medicare Part B premium — no asset test to qualify.
$2,000+
On the table for most households
The typical household we review has well over $2,000/yr in benefits going unclaimed.

Common questions
Questions families ask us
Isn't this stuff free? Can't I just do it myself?
Yes — every one of these is a public program you can apply for yourself at no cost, and we'll always point you to the free option. What you're paying for is having someone find everything you're entitled to, put it in priority order, prepare the paperwork we're allowed to, and make sure nothing slips through. And if we don't find at least $500/yr you're missing, it's free.
What does the nurse practitioner actually do?
Our nurse practitioner brings an eldercare perspective to how we read your situation — which benefits matter most for someone's health, independence, and ability to stay home. To be clear: this is benefits navigation, not health care. Nothing we provide is medical advice, a diagnosis, or treatment, and no clinician-patient relationship is created. For medical questions, always talk to your own doctor or provider.
Do you handle VA benefits and taxes?
We identify them, but we don't charge to file them — that's the law, and it's there to protect you. VA claims must go through a VA-accredited representative, so we connect you to a free Veterans Service Officer. The Senior Circuit Breaker is claimed on a tax return, so we help you gather everything and you (or your tax preparer) file it. This keeps you protected and keeps our fee honest.
My parent doesn't live with me, or is in another town. Is that a problem?
Not at all — most of our clients are adult children helping a parent. We work from the details you provide, check the rules for your parent's specific town, and can do the 30-minute call with you, your parent, or both of you together.
Are you a law firm or a government agency?
No to both. Benefighter is an independent information and document-research service. We are not a government agency, and being contacted by us is not an official notice about your benefits. We are not a law firm — we provide factual information and clerical help, not legal, tax, financial, or medical advice. For legal questions (especially nursing-home MassHealth or asset protection), we'll refer you to a licensed Massachusetts elder-law attorney.
How does the money-back guarantee work?
Simple: if our check doesn't identify at least $500/year in benefits you aren't already getting and appear likely to qualify for, email us within 30 days and we refund your $179 in full. Most households we review are owed well over $2,000 a year, so this rarely comes up — but the promise is real.
What happens to my personal information?
We use what you share only to complete your review and deliver your plan. We don't sell it, and we don't share it for marketing. The free benefits check runs entirely in your browser — those answers are never sent to us. See our full privacy note below.
