THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 11, 2024 Page 3 Malden legislators announce passage of bill to maximize federal funding for Massachusetts O n September 19, 2024, State Senator Jason Lewis and State Representatives Paul Donato, Steve Ultrino and Kate Lipper-Garabedian joined their colleagues in the Massachusetts Legislature to enact a bill that will enable the Commonwealth to effectively compete for federal grant funding across multiple sectors, including transportation, housing, climate, economic development and technology innovation. Early in 2024 the bill had been passed by the House and Senate, and a Conference Committee was appointed to resolve the differences in their two bills. Governor Maura Healey signed the bill into law on September 24, 2024, as Chapter 214 of the Acts of 2024. An Act to provide for competitiveness and infrastructure investment in Massachusetts leverages the interest accrued on the Commonwealth’s Stabilization Fund to provide required state matching funds needed to compete for many federal funding opportunities. Through three pieces of federal legislation – the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) Act – more than $2 trillion is being made available to states through competitive grant programs and formula allocations. With the passage of this bill, the Commonwealth will be maximizing its ability to capitalize on these substantial federal funding opportunities. “We should do everything possible to maximize our share of federal grant opportunities that help save money for Massachusetts taxpayers,” said Senator Lewis. “Using excess interest from the Commonwealth’s Stabilization Fund to unlock these federal opportunities is a smart way to do so, and will enable the state and local municipalities to fund many important infrastructure projects in the years to come.” “I am delighted to see the passage of this transformative legislation, as we commit to increasing our competitiveness and investments into vital infrastructure for the Commonwealth,” said Representative Donato. “We are now able to strategically position ourselves to compete for federal grants that can be used to increase funding for essential services. Also, with the help of the Stabilization Fund, its excess interest can help assist in the long-term prosperity of Massachusetts.” “This piece of legislation allows Massachusetts to keep our competitive edge in obtaining federJason Lewis State Senator Steven Ultrino State Representative cumulate approximately $250 million in interest annually. This bill will allow the state to transfer interest from the Stabilization Fund to the Commonwealth Federal Matching and Debt Reduction Fund when amounts exceed 10 percent of budgeted revenues for the previous fiscal year and the balance of the fund has not decreased in the previous year. When a diversion does occur, the interest will be used for two key purposes: required matching funds for federal grants during this unique opportunity to capture federal investments; and long-term debt management strategies. Over the coming years, this bill is expected to unlock more than $800 million in funds that will be used to cover the state or municipal match requirement for federal competitive grant opportunities, as well as planning work that will help municipalities with the process of preparing applications for federal grants. Once federal grant opportunities expire, money left in this fund will go toward reducing the Commonwealth’s longterm liabilities. Paul Donato State Representative al grant dollars so we can continue to support the growth of our cities and towns,” said Representative Ultrino. “This agreement will not only save taxpayer dollars but allow us to extend funding to further invest in transportation, infrastructure, climate resiliency, and job creation to create a better future for our Commonwealth.” “I was glad to join the full legislature in supporting this legislation to ensure Massachusetts is Kate Lipper-Garabedian State Representative well-positioned to compete for federal funding opportunities,” said Representative Lipper-Garabedian. “Using the interest accumulated in our Rainy Day Fund, which has a historically high balance, we will be able to seek investments that will enhance the economic vitality and infrastructure of our communities, supporting workforce opportunities in the process.” At its current level, the Stabilization Fund is anticipated to ac

According to The National Gardener magazine, Joel and Deborah Cooper “worked together delightfully. It took Joel about 100 hours to create a print. Once completed, he would place it on an easel in the middle of everything, hoping that Deborah would fi nd that little thread to inspire the poem that might express the feelings that print brought out in her, much like a fairy tale. Sadly, Joel passed away in 2021.” The Cooper family has donated 85 of Joel’s prints to the Malden Public Library’s Art Collection. The current exhibit show“Beloved” (By Joel Cooper) cases 30 prints and poems created by the Coopers over the past 40 years. The exhibition is made possible by the generous contributions of John Giso, Michael Nuttall, Martin Cooper, Kim Taylor and the Trustees of the Malden Public Library. Joel Cooper (1945-2021) began fi ne art screen printing in 1989, having been introduced to the process through a work“I Dream of Trees” (By Joel Cooper) shop at the Duluth Art Institute. Joel was a talented printer for over 28 years, with a portfolio of over 170 prints. In February 1998 a collaborative show, “As We See It,” took place at the Duluth Art Institute. It combined 42 screen prints along with poems by his wife, Deborah Gordon Cooper, and this began a series of many exhibits they did together, including the Northern Prints Gallery and the Johnson heritage Post Gallery in Grand Marais.

Page 8 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 11, 2024 ~ Letter to the Editor ~ Leaving Teen Enrichment Center with fond memories and hope for the future Dear Editor, After fi ve years and nearly six school cycles, my time as an employee at the Malden Teen Enrichment Center has come to an end. As an avid reader of The Malden Advocate in that time I have read the stories of countless Maldonians who have given decades of their working life to the city. I will never reach the lofty status of these great city employees but I wanted to take the opportunity to express my profound love and gratitude to the city and the youth who call it home. When I started at the Teen Center, I was a kid myself, 21 years old fresh out of four years at Bridgewater State University with a degree in Criminal Justice. I had no idea what I wanted to do as a career. I had a passion for community service and had enjoyed my time as a high school mentor so my mom encouraged me to reach out to a former coworker of hers, Cathy Mac who was doing good work running a youth center in Malden. A word on Cathy Mac. If every city had a resident who loved, supported and gave back to their city the way Cathy does the city of Malden, the world would be a better place. I have received a life worth of lessons on community involvement and putting eff ort into the things that you care about. I think it took about two weeks of working at the Teen Center for me to realize that I wanted to spend my career working with communities and kids. That fresh faced 21-yearold still fi guring out his path leaves the Teen Center a 27-year-old with a Master’s Degree in Social Work, a clear career path, many lessons learned, and relationships to last a lifetime – all things that have come into my life thanks to my coworkers at MTEC and the youth of Malden. What a gift to have been a part of the lives of the kids who frequent the Malden Teen Enrichment Center. It has been the ultimate honor to witness their journey, and to be a trusted mentor and confi - dant during all the changes, joys, failures and successes that the roller-coaster of high school can bring. The youth are our future and let me tell you Malden, you are in the best of hands. If life ever gets you down, if the politics and divisions of today’s society becomes too much, spend a day with these kids! You will not find a funnier, brighter, more friendly, inclusive and inspiring group of kids. I have truly never had a “bad day” at work, working with these kids. I mean how could you? On camping trips, I saw kids canoe, cook and hike mountains for the fi rst time. Kids who I met as incoming freshmen, I have written their recommendations for jobs and scholarships as high school seniors! They have made it so easy to love my job. Just as the staff and teens at MTEC became like a second family to me, Malden has become a second home. Can’t get more Malden than reading the latest copy of The Advocate over breakfast at Cornucopia! I’ll miss having such a short walk from my offi ce to get dumplings at District Kitchen. I’ll miss laughing at the jokes of my guy’s Mike and Paul from Public Facilities. I’ll miss Friday morning conversations about life and sports at the city hall gym with Kevin Duff y. I’ll miss my staff at the Teen Center. Sheena, you’re the sister I never had but always needed! Jay, I’ll never stop coming to you for advice! More than anything I’ll miss “my kids” at the Malden Teen Enrichment Center, you guys are simply THE BEST! I’ll be stopping by for life updates, and dumplings from District Kitchen in the near future!

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 11, 2024 Page 9 ~ 375th Anniversary of Malden’s Incorporation as a Town ~ Deacon Edward Convers – cofounder of Charlestown, Malden & Woburn, first ferryman of Boston & Charlestown, Part 2 By Inna Babitskaya U nder the vote of the General Court on November 9, 1630, Edward Convers got a grant from the Massachusetts Bay Colony to establish the ferry between “Boston and Charlestown, to have the sole transporting of passengers and cattle from one side to the other, for three years from the first day of the next month, for the yearly rent of forty pounds to be paid quarterly to the treasurer, provided that he see it be well attended and furnished with sufficient boats; and that so soon as may be in the next spring he set up a convenient house on Boston side and keep a boat there, as need shall require.” (Rev. Leander Thompson, “Deacon Edward Convers,” Winchester Record, October 1885) As Governor John Winthrop wrote in his “History of New England,” Convers, being “a man of more than usual enterprise... in less than a year after settling in Charlestown... established a ferry, the first between Charlestown and Boston.” The ferry began to operate on June 14, 1631, in an area of a river where now the Charlestown Bridge crosses it and was called the “Great Ferry” “to distinguish it from another that, in 1631, Thomas Williams had “set up” between Charlestown and Winnisimmet. (Thompson, “Deacon Edward Convers”) According to the Massachusetts Laws, “a rider had to let his horse cross by swimming over, being guided from the ferryboat; he then paid no fee for the horse. To transport the carriages that were too large for the ferries, those carriages had to be taken apart, or towed over, while the horse had his forefeet in one canoe-ferry and his hind feet in another, the two canoes being lashed together.” (Alice Morse Earle, “Home Life in Colonial Days,” 1898) At that time, “oars were probably the sole means of propulsion, the channel being narrow and the current strong. In winter, when the ferry could not run, no doubt the thick ice made a convenient bridge between the shores for at least part of the season. At first, the ferry served only foot passengers.” (William Hill, “Family Record of Deacons James W. Converse and Elisha S. Converse,” 1887) In the beginning, the ferry was not a very profitable enterprise. Over 51 5-Star Reviews on Google & Yelp! (857) 417-1936 / Contact@vtechautoservices.com Check Engine Light On?

Charlestown Ferry Edward Convers was allowed “to take his wonted fees, viz., 2 pence for a single person, and pence apiece, if there be more than one, as well on lecture days as at other times; and for every horse and cow with the man which goes with them 6 pence, and for a goat 1 pence, and a swine 2 pence. And if any shall desire to pass before it be light in the morning, or after it is dark in the evening, he may take recompense answerable to the season and his pains and hazard, so as it be not excessive.” Convers’ lease was renewed on November 9, 1636/37, for three years. However, despite his efforts, there were some complaints from the residents. So, as John Winthrop remembered, in 1638, Convers was admonished by the General Court “to be more careful of the ferry and enjoined to man two boats, one to be on the one side and the other on the other side, except the wind were so high that they were forced to put four men to man one boat, and then one boat to serve,” and fined 10 shillings. In 1639, the ferry brought 50 pounds. Because it was projected that the growth of population would increase the ferry’s income, in 1640, the General Court transferred the privilege to operate that ferry for 155 years to Harvard College to support it financially. It was also done to honor the fellow townsman John Harvard – known for his generous bequest to the college, who, in 1638, owned 120 acres of land in Waterfield (Charlestown Village) not far from the future Convers’ home. As one of the first settlers, Edward Convers became a large landowner, creating sufficient COFOUNDER | SEE PAGE 12 PUBLIC SKATING SCHEDULE 12-7 p.m. Sunday Monday Tuesday $10.00 Price includes Roller Skates Rollerblades/inline skates $3.00 additional cost Private Parties 7:30-11 p.m. Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday $10.00 Price includes Roller Skates 18+ Adults Only After 7 PM - ID Required Private Parties Private Parties 4-8 p.m. $10.00 8:30-11 p.m. $11. 18+ Adults Only After 7 PM - ID Required 12-9 p.m. $10.00 Everyone must pay admission after 6 p.m. Sorry No Checks - ATM on site Roller skate rentals included in all prices Inline Skate Rentals $3.00 additional BIRTHDAY & PRIVATE PARTIES AVAILABLE www.roller-world.com

On March 6, 1636/37, he was also granted five acres on the Mystic Side. In 1638, he had 13 parcels of land in Charlestown and was granted 35 and 80 acres on the Mystic Side.

MV improves to 2-4 overall while Greater Lowell drops to 5-3-1. The Eagles had a lot of momentum in the fi rst fi ve minutes but were held without a shot until an off -target attempt in the 20th minute. Wesley Rosell fi nally broke the deadlock in the 35th minute, opening the scoring for the Eagles and giving them a well-deserved 1-0 lead. The MV defense was able to hold strong, and they’d hold that advantage heading into the second half. Up a goal, the Eagles didn’t take long to quickly double their lead when Jack Mangone found a wide-open Yafet Dawit on the left. Dawit struck a shot toward the left side of the goal that bounced off the post. Dawit was tackled in the box in an attempt to knock the rebound in. Mystic Valley garnered a penalty kick following the GL foul. Senior Captain Sebastian Saad stepped up to take the penalty, sending a shot into the top corner of the net. The Gryphons looked to break the game open. Racing past the Mystic Valley defense, a midfi elder slotted a pass to his teammate, who buried the feed into the back of the net. GL then fired off two more shots, but Cam Martins and the Mystic Valley defense was able to hold them off . Mystic Valley immediately returned the favor with back-toback chances on net that were saved. Seven minutes later, Danyel Vicente took a feed from Wesley Rosell and deposited the ball into the back of the net as he lifted MV to a 3-1 win. If We Happen To Meet By Accident ...

Malden Girls Soccer Team drops a pair of games Malden High Girls Soccer By Steve Freker T hey showed some sincere support for a great cause this past week, though their own fortunes went in the wrong direction. Malden High Girls Volleyball took a couple of big hits in the past week as its hopes for a Greater Boston League Championship season dimmed considerably. Malden started the week poised for a solid run at a potential GBL title, with an undefeated league record and looking for more. Unfortunately, neither the home court nor the road show bore any winning fruit for Malden, which dropped two straight matches, both to GBL opponents: 3-1 to Somerville at home on October 3 and then 3-2 to Chelsea on the road Monday, October 7. GBL For the Chelsea game, the players and coaches donned pink-colored shirts and decorated the Finn Gym in balloons and crepe paper for “Pink Out Night,” honoring Breast Cancer Research Month in October. The two losses left Head Coach Dan Jurkowski’s girls at 7-2 GBL, 8-6 overall heading into the stretch run of the regular season. At this point, Malden is now centering on securing at least the minimum number of wins it would take (10) to qualify for the MIAA postseason State Volleyball Tournament. Malden has six games left in the regular season, including Wednesday’s road trip to take on fi rst-place Lynn Classical.

Page 16 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 11, 2024 GAME | FROM PAGE 1 ball Golden Tornados launched what came close to being a comeback for the ages. The game literally went down to the very last play of the game and the final seconds before time ran out on a 30-28 loss to the visiting Rams on Thursday, October 3. Malden went to 1-3 overall with the loss (0-2 Greater Boston League) while Lynn Classical improved to a perfect 2-0 GBL with the win (2-3 overall. With Head Coach Witche Exilhomme calling the strikes like a surgeon, Malden basically owned the field the rest of the game, scoring 20 unanswered points on three touchdown passes by senior quarterback Aidan Brett. Malden was now within a whisker of the Rams, trailing by just two points late in the fourth quarter, 30-28. With just over two minutes to play and Lynn Classical trying to run out the clock, Malden got a huge defensive stop on a tackle by senior captain Earl Fevrier to give themselves one last chance. Starting from their own 36yard line, Malden was back in business and quickly drove 34 yards on six plays – two of them bootleg runs by QB Brett after he couldn’t see anyone open. Brett then found his best friend, senior receiver Johnson Huynh, with a 12-yard reception in the middle of the field for a first down at the Rams’ 19-yard line with 17 seconds left on the clock. The first pass was intended for Brett’s favorite receiver of the night, fellow senior captain Kevin Exilhomme, but it sailed right out of Exilhomme’s reach. The game then ended abruptly with Classical’s offensive star of the night, Tyren Houen, earning his stripes defensively when he intercepted Brett’s last-ditch BIG STOP FOR TORNADO DEFENSE: Malden football senior captains Kevin Exilhomme (9) and Earl Fevrier (88) celebrated along with Daniel Oliveira (24) and Jayden McGuffie (17) after a huge defensive stop against Lynn Classical.

Malden’s Head Coach Witche Exilhomme had mixed reviews of this one, understandably. “We did not give up, we gave it our max effort in the second half, but we can’t let a well-coached team like [Classical] get off to a fast start like that,” the Malden head coach said. “We have to stop teams early and we have to give ourselves a chance by playEND ZONE GREETING: Malden senior captain Kevin Exilhomme (9) was greeted in the end zone by teammate Manny Perez (left) after scoring a touchdown in the Homecoming Game with Lynn Classical on Thursday, October 3.

Defensively we must find a way to step it up,” said Coach Exilhomme, whose team has scored 134 points in a 1-3 start, averaging 33.5 points per game, but has surrendered 126, also over 30 points per game. Malden did see its offensive passing game show up for this game, as senior QB Brett had his best game as a Tornado, completing 12 of 24 passes for 192 yards and three touchdowns, adding a two-point conversion pass as well. Brett’s favorite target was senior Kevin Exilhomme, who also had the best game of his Tornado career as a receiver, with 7 catches for 144 yards, including two touchdowns of 43 and 73 yards, both during the second-half comeback, as well a conversion catch. Also key to the game was the FULL SERVICE GUTTER PROTECTION – SCHEDULE YOUR FREE INSPECTION NOW! 1-888-617-2908 two-way play of senior Xavier “X” Coulanges-Blaise, who scored Malden’s only offensive points in the first half. After Malden defensive end Dwayne Saintvil tackled Lynn Classical QB senior quarterback Javon Clayborn in the end zone for a safety to start the second quarter, Malden got six more quick points when Coulanges-Blaise ran back the ensuing kickoff 55 yards to make it 16-8, Classical. The Rams answered with continued domination with its relentless ground game fueled by Clayborn and Houen. Houen scored TDs of 76 yards on the ground and a 25-yard TD pass from Clayborn, both in the first quarter. Clayborn reeled off a 68yard sprint for a TD to start the third quarter and grow Classical’s lead to 30-8. The tandem, who were named co-Defensive Players of the Week in The Boston Globe and Boston Herald for their efforts, combined for 372 yards rushing and three scores. Clayborn, a senior, had 213 yards on 16 carries – as well as two extra point conversion runs – and Houen, a junior, totaled 169 yards on 23 carries and caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from Clayborn in the win. Trailing 30-8 in the third, the Brett-to-Exilhomme Connection hit for a 43-yard TD midway through the quarter. A run was stuffed on the conversion and Malden trailed, 30-14. Malden’s defense – which actually blanked Lynn Classical on the scoreboard in the second half, with a bend and don’t break effort – came up with a couple of memorable stops to keep the Tornados alive. Brett and Malden stayed hot, this time with the Malden QB connecting with Coulanges-Blaise for a 20-yard TD and making the score 30-20 just before the start of the third quarter.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 11, 2024 Page 17 of the fourth quarter came a stunner: Brett found Exilhomme on the left sideline for a long pass from the Malden 27. Exilhomme hauled it in on about the Rams 33 and sprinted the rest of the way for a 73-yard TD pass. For the first time in three games. Malden converted after the TD with a Brett pass to Exilhomme to cut the lead to 3028 and sent the large Malden Homecoming crowd into raucous cheers. Unfortunately, despite a huge Malden stop to get the ball back, Malden’s Homecoming comeback fell just short. “We can’t dwell on ‘almost’ and all that, we have to play consistently the whole game,” Coach Exilhomme said. “If we do that, we give ourselves a chance to win every week. That’s what we will continue to work on.” *** TORNADO WARNINGS: Malden is back in action tonight in the road against the other Lynnbased team on its Greater Boston League slate, Lynn English. Malden takes on English at 5:00 p.m. at Manning Field in Lynn... Bigtime high school football fans can stay for the second game of a doubleheader tonight, as Lynn-based KIPP Academy takes on Lowell Catholic at 7:30 p.m. after the Malden-Lynn English game... After tonight’s game, Malden stays on the road for another week: at Chelsea Stadium against the Red Devils on Friday, October 8 at 6:00 p.m. Malden then returns home on Thursday, October 24, hosting GBLer Revere at 6:00 p.m... Lynn English, with a new head coach (its third in the past five years) in Anthony LaFratta, is a surprise team in the GBL, off to a 4-1 start (3-0 GBL). LaFratta has been a teacher at Lynn English for seven years and has coached football as an assistant in the past at Lynn English, Wakefield High School and Saugus High School. He is a Peabody High football alumnus... Malden’s defense has been stung by injuries as its two planned starting linebackers – senior captains Mateus Brito and James Hyppolite – have both been out all season with injuries. Brito sustained a broken collarbone in the scrimmage against BC High in August and could be out for the season. Hyppolite reinjured a balky knee in the season opener against Lynn Tech and is also probably out for the season with an ACL injury... With 134 points through four games, Malden has already surpassed its total points scored for the 2023 season (117). Head Coach Witche Exilhomme assumed the dual role of Offensive Coordinator this season along with top assistant Alishaan Moughal, and it appears to have paid dividends. “X” MARKS THE SPOT: Malden High senior Xavier CoulangesBlaise holds out the ball after scoring a touchdown on a 55yard kickoff return in the Homecoming Game against Lynn Classical. Coulanges-Blaise added a second touchdown on a pass reception later in the game. ON TARGET: Malden High senior quarterback Aidan Brett (3) fired a pass in Thursday’s Homecoming Game. Brett had his best game as a Tornado in this one, tossing three TD passes and passing for nearly 200 yards overall. WHAT A GRAB! Malden senior captain Kevin Exilhomme (9) soars up high to catch this pass against Lynn Classical’s Tyren Houen (21).

Often times, these “mills” charge excessive fees many times with no results. These mills will often make false statements of their ability to settle IRS debts for pennies on the dollar. They will also make the claim that there is not much time provided to the taxpayer in order to compromise the debt with the IRS. The Off er in Compromise (OIC) program is a legitimate program offered by the IRS. A taxpayer will need to meet all of the requirements in order to be able to settle with the IRS for a reduced amount of federal income taxes owed. IRS Form 656, Off er in Compromise, needs to be completed and submitted to the IRS. In addition, Form 433-A, Collection Information Statement for Individuals and Form 433-B, Collection Information for Businesses (if applicable) would also have to be submitted to the IRS. The OIC program is not an easy program to quality for. The IRS will review your income and assets in order to determine your ability to pay. If a taxpayer was unemployed with very little assets, that individual would be a good candidate to submit off er in compromise paperwork to the IRS. You can learn more about the Offer In Compromise program by visiting www. irs.gov. The IRS has an Off er In Compromise Pre-Qualifi - er Tool that you can use in order to determine if you might initially qualify for a reduction in your tax liability. You can also apply for a payment plan on the irs.gov website. For taxpayers that owe less than $100,000, a short-term payment plan will provide the taxpayer with an extra 180 days to pay the tax in full. For taxpayers that owe less than $50,000, a long-term payment plan will provide the taxpayer the opportunity to make monthly payments over a period of up to 72 months. So be careful with these companies that promise you the world. I’ve seen instances where more money gets paid to these companies than gets paid to the IRS in order to reduce the amount of taxes owed.

Chuha Clerk October 4, 11, 2024 Page 19 avy eniior avvy S iorn oro a y avvyavy iori by Jim Miller How SSI Benefits Can Help Struggling Seniors and the Disabled Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about the SSI program and what are the eligibility requirements for seniors? I’m trying to help my elderly aunt who is very low-income. Searching Niece Dear Searching, The SSI program that you’re enquiring about, which stands for Supplemental Security Income, is a program administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that provides monthly cash benefi ts to people that are disabled or over 65 based on fi nancial need. Currently, around 7.5 million people are receiving SSI benefi ts, but many more are now eligible as the SSA recently expanded access benefi ts by tweaking some of the rules. Here’s what you should know. Eligibility Requirements To qualify for SSI your aunt must be either age 65 or older, blind or disabled, and must be a U.S. citizen or lawful resident. She must also have limited income and assets. Her income as an individual must generally be under $1,971 per monthly, or $2,915 for couples. Countable income includes wages or any other kind of money your aunt earned from working, plus money she gets from other sources like unemployment, Social Security retirement, or gifts from friends, but also, free shelter. And her assets must also be less than $2,000 or $3,000 for couples. This includes cash, bank accounts, other personal property, and anything else that could potentially be converted to cash. Her home, household goods and one vehicle, along with life insurance policies and burial funds valued under $1,500, do not count towards countable assets. In 2024, the maximum SSI payment is $943 a month for an individual or $1,415 a month for a couple. But, if eligible, the amount your aunt would receive may be lower based on her income, living situation and some other factors. To help you determine if your aunt is eligible for SSI, help her take the Social Security Administration’s benefi ts screening test at SSAbest.benefi ts.gov. This online questionnaire takes approximately 5 minutes to complete and screens for a variety of benefi ts, not just SSI. You should also know that most states – except Arizona, Arkansas, Mississippi, North Dakota, Tennessee and West Virginia – supplement the federal SSI payment with payments of their own. In some of the states that pay a supplement, your aunt may qualify for the state payment even if she doesn’t meet the federal SSI eligibility criteria. How to Apply If you think that your aunt is eligible for SSI, she (or you) can begin the application process and complete a large part of it online at SSA.gov/apply/ssi. If she’s disabled, she can apply for both SSI and Social Security Disability at SSA.gov/disability. Or, if she can’t apply online, call 800-772-1213 and set up an appointment with her local Social Security offi ce. To help make the application process go quickly and smoothly, your aunt will need her Social Security number; birth certifi cate or other proof of age; information about the home where she lives, such as her mortgage, or lease and the landlord’s name; payroll slips, bank books, insurance policies, burial fund records and other information about her income and the things she owns; her proof of U.S. citizenship or eligible noncitizen status; and if she is applying for SSI because she is disabled or blind, the names, addresses and telephone numbers of doctors, hospitals and clinics that have information related to her condition. For more information visit SSA.gov/ssi or see Social Security’s online SSI publication at SSA.gov/pubs/EN-05-11000.pdf. Other Assistance Programs Depending on your aunt’s income, there are other fi nancial assistance programs that may be able to help her like Medicare Savings Programs, prescription drug assistance, food stamps and energy assistance. To locate these programs, and learn how to apply for them, go to Benefi tsCheckUp.org. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.
