Two-thirds of eligible seniors never claim what they're owed.
Not because they don't need it — the average senior losing out is living on under $25,000 a year. Because the system is a maze: thirteen programs, five agencies, fifty states, and paperwork designed for someone with a caseworker. The organizations that helped families navigate it were charities — and the largest one shut down in 2024.
Goldenrod puts a tireless benefits expert in every family's pocket instead. The screening is free. The math is shown. The money goes where it was always supposed to go.
Questions families ask
Is the check really free?
Yes. The full screening and report are free, forever. If Goldenrod finds money, the guided claiming plan is where we eventually charge — never a percentage of benefits, which we think is predatory.
Do you need my parent's Social Security number?
No. The screening uses ballpark income and savings figures. Your answers stay on your device — we don't even have a server that stores them.
How accurate is it?
Every rule is encoded from published 2026 federal and state program limits, and every result shows its math so you can check it. The agency you apply to always makes the final call — our job is to make sure you never leave money unclaimed because nobody looked.
My parents 'aren't the type' for government help.
Medicare Savings Programs, property tax relief, and VA pensions aren't charity — they're benefits your parents paid into over a working lifetime. Two-thirds of eligible seniors never claim them. That's the only 'type' there is.
What if they're over the limits?
The report says so, honestly — and still flags the programs with no income test, like property tax relief and (for veterans) care-cost offsets that change the math. No inflated promises.
