- Questions are arranged by category, allowing you to more easily focus your search on the benefits you are most interested in.
- As you take the questionnaire, you can watch the number of benefits you may be eligible for change as you answer more questions. Answering more questions will increase the likelihood of your eligibility for the programs in your Benefit Results List.
- You can quickly see the benefits you may be eligible for in each benefit category.
- If you find benefits in your Benefit Results List that you're interested in, you can add them to "Your Favorites" to create an even more personalized list of results.
