Health and income benefits are essential for most seniors to live healthy, fulfilling lives—benefits you’ve earned through a lifetime of hard work. Even small changes to these benefits can significantly impact your finances and well-being. Don’t face the bureaucracy alone.
With decades of experience, we fight to protect our clients’ dignity and peace of mind. Whether it’s Medicare, Medi-Cal, Social Security, SSI, CalFresh, or In-Home Supportive Services, we ensure these programs continue to provide the support you deserve.
What We Help With
Legal Assistance to the Elderly can help, free of charge. A decrease in your benefits today can significantly impact essential aspects of your life tomorrow, from affording food to maintaining stable housing.
We are here to cut through the red tape and advocate for you by:
- Evaluating government benefit decisions to ensure you receive the maximum you deserve.
- Fighting against cost-sharing increases that could make necessities like food or medicine unaffordable.
- Working to overturn overpayment notices and protect your financial stability.
- Challenging the reduction or withholding of income benefits, such as Social Security, disability, retirement, survivor benefits, and SSI.
You don’t have to live with the stress that legal problems can cause. The sooner you take action, the more options you will have.
