Separate assistance paths

  • BES describes separate old-age, blindness, and permanent-disability assistance programs. A lack of disability does not by itself rule out the old-age path. Exact age and financial criteria need confirmation. [Program source]
  • The federal funding page lists FY2026 AABD funding for Guam. This grant is not the amount paid to a person. [Program source]
