Did you know about LD11’s Savings for Our Seniors Program? Here at the Legislative District 11 Office, we know how hard navigating all the different programs can be, so we are here to help! The S.O.S. Program helps senior citizens living on a fixed income gain access to financial assistance programs they may be eligible for. Rather than sift through government websites, let us work with you to identify a wide-range of potential programs you may qualify for! Examples of benefits and programs include: property tax relief, energy utility assistance, prescription drug programs, transportation aid, and more. To participate in our Savings for Our Seniors Program, please sign up at senatorgopal.com/sos or call our office at 732-695-3371 and we will be happy to assist you.
