“I Feel Rich!” Ivy Declared

Ivy didn’t always feel that way. In fact, rich was hardly the word you could use to describe Ivy’s monthly income of $1,125. 

She couldn’t make ends meet and turned to an NCOA partner in her community. There, the team was determined to help, even when Ivy was initially denied Medicare Savings Program benefits.

With perseverance and expertise, we helped Ivy get:

✅ $270 a month in food assistance

✅ $169 added back to her Social Security check

✅ $169 of retro pay from the date of her benefits application

The team went the distance to help Ivy apply for additional programs to cut the costs of her utility bills.

We are grateful to help Ivy and need your help so more older adults have the peace of mind they deserve.

Without dedicated assistance like this, Ivy could have fallen further into debt. 

The truth is that millions more are struggling. When you give to NCOA, we’ll put your gift to work by connecting more people like Ivy to benefits and programs that can help them afford daily expenses.
