Colorado’s Old Age Pension provides financial assistance; and may provide medical benefits for low-income adults. Seniors can receive up to approximately $700 a month, but this amount may be reduced by other income such as Social Security, Supplemental Security Income or Veteran's Assistance. Individuals receiving Old Age Pension grants that don’t qualify for Medicaid also receive medical benefits, although these benefits focus more on immediate medical needs instead of long term care.
To be eligible, an applicant must be 60 years or older, a U.S. citizen and Colorado resident. As an individual, he or she can have resources valued at up to $2,000, or $3,000 for a married couple.
Apply for OAP benefits through your County Department of Social (Human) Services.
