The public can now search for Federal and state government benefit programs through the GovBenefits.gov website. The website acts as a screening tool to help individuals determine specific programs for which they might be eligible by filling out an online questionnaire or by searching for benefits by category. By filling out the confidential questionnaire, a visitor to the website can pull up a personalized list of benefit programs with descriptions, eligibility requirements, and the contact information for each program.

This website is a way of easily connecting the public with information about government programs. GovBenefits.gov is managed by the U.S. Department of Labor in partnership with nine other Federal agencies. The website consolidates information that had previously been spread over multiple government agency sites, which had made the process of searching for information difficult and time-consuming.
