Benefits Screening Tool

Benefits Screening Tool

Welcome!

This screening tool is designed for navigators to use with their clients. It will help identify key government benefits that your client might be eligible for.

The survey takes about 5 minutes to complete. You should plan to have your client with you if possible.

Please note:

  • This tool does not screen for every benefit, just common ones for families experiencing poverty.
  • The information provided from this screening tool does not constitute legal advice. Individualized questions should be directed to an attorney.
  • When you deliver the information to your client, you should make sure they know that you are not an attorney, cannot provide legal advice, and any issues you discuss while completing this are not protected by attorney-client privilege.

Thank you for using this tool – we hope that surfacing these potential benefits helps you support your client!

This tool was made possible with support from the American Bar Endowment.
