About eBenefits Tracker
eBenefits Tracker is an independent, privately owned information service. We turn public-benefit program pages into plain-language guides that we send by email, along with a heads-up before renewals and deadlines. Who qualifies, and what to apply for, is always between you and the official program.
Not a government agency, and we say so on every page. We are also not connected to the VA’s former eBenefits portal or any other government website.
Public programs can take real pressure off a household budget. The hard part is finding the right page, making sense of the rules and remembering the dates. That is the part we do.
To make public-benefit information easy to read, easy to keep track of, and easy to check against the official source.
Anyone looking into food, energy, rent and housing, health coverage, childcare, phone and internet, senior or veteran programs who would like the dates kept in one place.
A small, independent, privately owned team. We do not work for any government agency or program, and no agency reviews or approves what we write.
What we do
Knowing the limits of a service is part of trusting it. Here they are, in plain words.
How we pick and check information
Four rules we write our guides and alerts by. The illustration shows where each one appears.
We start from the program’s own pages and public notices, not forums or rumors, and we link back to them so you can check our work.
Short sentences and everyday words. When a program term matters, we explain it the first time it appears.
Every guide we send is dated, and an update notes what changed, so you can tell how fresh it is.
Spotted something wrong or out of date? Tell us through the contact form. We check it against the official source and send a corrected guide if it needs it.
Rules differ by state and change over time. Always confirm the details with the official program before you act.
