Before the first cold week, one thing worth knowing 🧣 The government has a program that insulates homes for people with lower incomes. Renters too.

It is called the Weatherization Assistance Program. It has been around since 1976 and has helped more than 7 million families. A crew checks the house. Then they seal the leaks, add insulation and fix what wastes heat. The Energy Department says the average home saves $372 or more a year after.

Who can get it: homes at or below 200% of the poverty line, and anyone on SSI. Some states use a different income line, so check yours. Homeowners and renters both, with the landlord's okay. Older adults, people with a disability, families with kids and homes with high heat bills get priority. There is usually a waitlist. So the time to call is now, not January.

Here is how to apply, state by state: https://www.energy.gov/cmei/scep/wap/how-apply-weatherization-assistance

Basically a winter coat for the house.

Behind a lot of the claims we handle, there's someone else doing the quiet work — a spouse or a daughter keeping the folder in order, making the calls, tracking the appointments, filling in the forms. Today we want to say it plainly: thank you. Thank you for showing up, staying organized, and doing all of this for someone you love. It doesn't always get noticed, but we notice it.

We checked, and it is real 💛 We found a $16 billion lost-and-found. It's for life insurance that nobody knew was there.

The NAIC, the group made up of every state's insurance regulators, runs a free search. Since 2016 it has matched families with more than $16 billion in life insurance.

How it works: it is for the policies of someone who has died. A family member, or the person handling the estate, fills out one form. It asks for the details on the death certificate: name, date of birth, date of death, Social Security number. The life insurance companies check their records. If there is a policy and you are the beneficiary, the company reaches out. No policy number needed. The NAIC says a search can take 90 business days or more. No match means no call.

Here is the tool: https://eapps.naic.org/life-policy-locator/

Some money is only lost because nobody knows it's there.

We are spotlighting the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), the division of the U.S. Department of Labor behind National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) every October.

But NDEAM is only the visible piece — the rest of the year, ODEP is researching workplace accommodations and publishing employer guidance on hiring and retaining employees with disabilities. Everything they produce is public and free: no products, no services, nothing to sell. If you're an employer figuring out accommodations, or just curious how disability employment policy works at the federal level, their published research is worth a look.

File this under things the government got right 📋 Government help, all on one page. Food, housing, heat, health. Most people have never seen it. Ages 50+, and anyone looking for help.

It is called the Benefit Finder, and it lives on USA.gov, the government's own front door. Twelve boxes: food, housing and utilities, health, disabilities, retirement and seniors, and more. Check the ones that fit. It lists the programs behind each one and how to apply.

It asks for no name and no Social Security number. No ads, no sign-up, no cost.

Here is the page: https://www.usa.gov/benefit-finder

A lot of people could get help they never asked for.

Found money, maybe yours 💼 Old 401(k)s from past jobs get lost. There is now a free lost-and-found for them, run by the U.S. Department of Labor. Ages 50+.

Log in, and it shows retirement plans from past jobs that once listed that person, with who to call. The job could have ended twenty years ago. The plan may still be there.

It is free. It only works for a person's own plans. It only covers plans from private companies and unions. Not government jobs, not IRAs, not Social Security. It asks for a Social Security number and a photo of a driver's license or state ID to prove who is asking. It finds the plan, not the balance. Some of those plans were paid out long ago. Some were not.

PSA for anyone on Medicare 💛 One free form can turn a $202.90 Medicare bill into $0. Most people have never heard of it. Ages 65+, and anyone on Medicare.

Here is the story. Medicare costs most people $202.90 a month. Each state has a program that pays that bill for people with low income and little saved. It is called a Medicare Savings Program. Same Medicare. The state pays the bill instead of the person.

Who can get it? People on Medicare with low income and not much saved. One person can make up to about $1,816 a month. A married couple up to about $2,455. Savings count too: up to about $9,950 for one person, $14,910 for a couple. Some states let people have more. There are four programs, and the state picks the one that fits.

Medicare's own advice: apply even if it seems like too much money.

Not every workplace injury happens in one moment.

Carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive strain injuries build up slowly — from years at a keyboard, a scanner, an assembly line, or lifting and repositioning patients. California workers' compensation covers these injuries too, but proving when they started is often the hardest part of the claim. The best thing you can do is report it as soon as your doctor connects your symptoms to your work. We put together a short guide on filing for carpal tunnel — link below.

If a repetitive strain injury from your job sounds familiar, give us a call at (877) 529-4773. We're here to help, every step of the way.

Sometimes the clearest evidence in a disability claim doesn't come from a doctor's office. It comes from the people who watched you change — a former coworker who noticed you stopped taking the stairs, a sister who noticed you stopped hosting family dinners.

There's a place in your claim for that. Social Security sends you an Adult Function Report to complete about your own daily activities, and along with it, a Third-Party Adult Function Report — a form for someone who knows you and your conditions well. A spouse, parent, sibling, friend, or former coworker fills it out and describes what they've seen: how you manage cooking, chores, errands, getting dressed, following instructions, being around other people. That form is how their observations actually get into your file.

It helps most when the person filling it out is specific: what you used to do, when it stopped, what it looks like now. Not just how hard things have been. And it supports the medical record — it doesn't replace it.

Read why the medical record still comes first in our blogpost "The Importance of Medical Records in SSDI Claims" https://nymanturkish.com/blog/the-importance-of-medical-records-in-ssdi-claims/ and call us at (877) 529-4773 with any questions about your claim. We're here to help, every step of the way.

Multiple sclerosis rarely looks the same two weeks in a row. Cognitive fog, heat sensitivity, and relapses that arrive without warning, all while a job still expects the same person to show up every day.

Living with MS often means proving a pattern, not a single test result. How often the bad stretches come, and how long they last, can matter more than any scan.

You don't have to do it alone. We stand by your side, every step of the way, so you can focus on what matters most: your health.

Free case evaluation, no cost unless we win. Call 877-529-4773 and read more in our blog post “Unseen Disabilities”: https://nymanturkish.com/blog/unseen-disabilities/
