The National Council on Aging (NCOA) was founded in 1950 as the first charitable organization in the U.S. that would advocate for older Americans with service providers and policymakers.[1] Headquartered in Washington, DC, NCOA brings together various organizations, businesses, and governmental agency to work toward securing jobs, benefits, healthcare, and options for independent and active living among older Americans.[2]
NCOA provides a variety of services to older people and caregivers including Benefits Checkup, Economics Checkup, and My Medicare Matters.
