Pima Council on Aging Information and Counseling Demonstration Project

摘要

The Pima Council on Aging (PCOA) Pension Project is a 15-month demonstrationproject on pension information and counseling funded by the U.S. Administration on Aging and the National Committee. The project's objective is to preserve social security to, first, respond to the need for pension information and counseling, specifically among low and moderate income seniors and assist them to secure the full level of benefits. Second, to develop various outreach programs to guarantee seniors to recognize and overcome barriers to establish their eligibility to pensions and retirement assets. Third, to determine resources available or lacking nationally which can be used effectively by locally-based pension counseling programs and finally to evaluate the efficacy of the demonstration program and provide guidelines throughout the country. The success of PCOA led to the development of a continuing program.
