Government Application Support

Many of Common Sense Finance’s participants are expected to be eligible to receive benefits from a number of government programs. These programs include, among others, Student Loan Forgiveness for people that work in not-for-profit organizations; Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that helps low-income people buy nutritious food and results in free lunch for students; and discounted medical benefits under the Affordable Care Act. Eligible people may not apply for these and other programs for a variety of reasons including not knowing the programs exist, not knowing that they are eligible for the benefit and language barriers. 

Common Sense Finance plans to become an expert in select programs that have the most benefit to our participants. Once understanding the intricacies of these programs including the rules and paperwork requirements, Common Sense Finance can help the participants fill out the necessary paperwork and receive the benefits that they are entitled to receive.
