12. If I am a senior veteran, can I track my prescriptions and medications online?
Veterans can go online and sign up for the VA’s online portal. This program lets you refill prescriptions. It also shows your prescription history and your medication list.
13. What are the different income guidelines for HUD and USDA federal housing programs?
Both HUD and USDA provide different housing programs to help low-income seniors and their families. Each program may have a different income guideline that you must meet. The programs usually have three income limits: extremely low income, very low income and low income. These are all based on the median income level in your area. An extremely low income means that you do not make more than 30 percent of your area’s median income level. Very low means you do not make more than 50 percent of the median income level. Low means that you do not earn more than 80 percent of the median income.
14. What are the age requirements for HUD and USDA federal housing programs?
Most of the senior citizen federal housing programs require a senior to be at least 62 years old. Sometimes the age is different for disabled people. Families who apply for a senior housing program must have at least one senior.
15. What is Section 8 housing and how does it work?
Section 8 housing gives housing vouchers to people who meet the requirements. The program has guidelines about family status, citizenship, income and past evictions. If you get a Section 8 housing voucher, the program will pay a part of your monthly rent. You can live in a private house or apartment. In most places, Section 8 has a long waiting list. If you get on the waiting list, you will have to wait for rent help.
16. How affordable are senior apartments?
17. What is “estate planning”?
Estate planning makes sure all your money, valuables and property are handled when you die. You will decide who gets your property and gifts. You can also give someone power of attorney to make any decisions on your behalf after you die.
18. Do I need to hire an attorney for my estate planning?
Estate planning requires a good understanding of the law. A lawyer may be able to help you with estate planning. However, you are not required to hire an attorney to plan your estate.
19. Who gets something from my life insurance policy?
Generally, you can choose children or other people who will get help from your life insurance policy when you die. It is all up to you to decide who is named in the life insurance policy.
