Free Money
Many people arrive at GovBenefits.gov after seeing advertisements that might leave them thinking the government will give “free money” to anyone for anything. The government will not give you money just because you ask for it.

Here are some facts about getting government assistance some ads may not mention:

• The government provides assistance through benefit programs that serve various important purposes, such as job training, nutritional assistance, education, health care and other needs.
• In order to receive government assistance you must complete an application.
• You must meet specific eligibility requirements as outlined by each program.
• Some assistance programs may only provide non-payment type benefits.
• Not all assistance programs provide payments. Assistance programs that provide payments may have conditions and limitations.
