The NCOA Makes Public Service Announcements (PSAs) Available For Local Agencies To Promote BenefitsCheckUp®
Publish Date : 1/17/2007 9:40:00 AM Source : Insurance News Onlypunjab.com

The National Council on Aging (NCOA) has produced television Public Service Announcements to promote BenefitsCheckUp® and is distributing them in a number of ways.
Research shows that seniors, especially those with limited means, get most of their information from television. Having and promoting the BenefitsCheckUp PSA can help more people access the benefits programs they may need to improve the quality of their lives.

Developed and maintained by the NCOA, BenefitsCheckUp is the nation's most comprehensive Web-based service to screen for benefits programs for seniors with limited income and resources. It includes more than 1,350 public and private benefits programs from all 50 states and the District of Columbia that pay for prescription drugs, heating and cooling bills, rent, meal services and nutrition, legal matters, medical costs, and Alzheimer’s care.

The NCOA is first making the Public Service Announcements available to community organizations that already use the organizational edition of BenefitsCheckUp and want to help build local awareness of the Web-based service and their organizations.

Second, the PSAs have been shared with agencies in Alabama, Louisiana and Texas to drive traffic to organizations involved in helping hurricane survivors find the benefits they need. The NCOA is working with several agencies this year and next as part of its Disaster Recovery initiative.

Third, the NCOA is piloting the PSA in three markets nationwide (Philadelphia, Boson and St. Louis) to assess its effectiveness in reaching seniors with limited income and resources.

In addition, the NCOA has also uploaded a 60-second version of the PSA on YouTube, Google Video and Yahoo Video. Other versions of the video may be accessed by visiting http://www.benefitscheckup.org/video/index.cfm .

Local organizations, government offices, caregivers and media outlets are encouraged to use this online version of the PSA to promote BenefitsCheckUp on their own sites.
Local organizations who are interested in using the PSAs with their local television stations or public service directors interested in a Beta copy for their use should contact Katrina Skinner at 202-479-6687 or Katrina.skinner at ncoa.org.
