Volunteer: Benefits Counselor VolunteerJoin the AAA team as a Benefits Counselor Volunteer! Our Health Information, Counseling, and Advocacy Program (HICAP) volunteers play a crucial role in supporting the elderly and their caregivers by providing invaluable guidance on benefits-related matters. From navigating Medicare and Medicaid to understanding Social Security and supplemental insurance needs, our volunteers are equipped to address tough questions with clarity and compassion. One of the most pressing needs is helping individuals and families decipher the complexities of Medicare Part D plans. Our volunteers undergo rigorous training to ensure they can explain these intricacies in simple, understandable terms. To become a HICAP benefits counseling volunteer, individuals must complete a comprehensive four-day training session. We understand that scheduling constraints can be a challenge, so for groups of three or more, we offer mobile training sessions conducted at their location. We are currently seeking volunteers in rural areas to help increase knowledge and make assistance more accessible. If you reside in any of the 26 counties of the Panhandle, we would be delighted to welcome you to this much-needed support team. Join us in making a meaningful impact on the lives of older adults in our community. Become a volunteer today!
