2. Is your monthly income limited or tight?

3. Do you rent your home or worry about housing costs?

4. Do you worry about paying heating or electric bills?

5. Do you worry about affording groceries?

6. Are you on Medicare or about to enroll?

7. Are you a veteran or the spouse of a veteran?

8. Do you live alone?
