• What it does: Free options counseling, screening for services, help with applications, and referrals to in-home support, transportation, meals, and more.
• How to get help: Call 1-833-663-9673 or visit South Dakota Long-Term Services & Supports (LTSS): https://dhs.sd.gov/en/get-help-for-older-adult
• Reality check: They don’t control program budgets or speed, but they can greatly reduce back-and-forth and help you qualify correctly.

Money and Bills

Social Security, SSI, and SSDI

• Social Security Retirement/Survivors: Apply or manage benefits through Social Security: https://www.ssa.gov/
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Monthly cash for very low-income seniors 65+ or people with disabilities. Apply: https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/
• SSDI (disability insurance): For those who became disabled and have work credits. Apply: https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/disability/

Tip: Even if you think you’re “over” income or resources, talk with a benefits counselor. Some programs ignore certain income or use deductions.

Property Tax Relief (Homeowners)

Managed by the South Dakota Department of Revenue.

• Assessment Freeze for the Elderly and Disabled: Freezes the assessed value of your home if you meet age/disability and income limits. Learn how it works and apply through your county: https://dor.sd.gov/individuals/taxes/property-tax/relief-programs/
• Property Tax Reduction from Municipal Taxes (Elderly/Disabled): Lowers city property taxes for eligible homeowners. Details and forms via Dept. of Revenue: https://dor.sd.gov/individuals/taxes/property-tax/relief-programs/
• Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption: Partial exemption for certain service-connected disabled veterans (and in some cases surviving spouses). Program details: https://dor.sd.gov/individuals/taxes/property-tax/relief-programs/

Reality check: These programs have deadlines, income/resource limits, and paperwork. Contact your county treasurer or assessor early each year.

Help With Heat, Electric, and Weatherization

• Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP): Helps pay winter heating bills (and limited cooling/energy costs when available). Apply through South Dakota DSS: https://dss.sd.gov/economicassistance/energyassistance/lowincome.aspx
• Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP): Free improvements that can lower your bills (insulation, air sealing, furnace safety/repairs). Learn more and find local providers: https://dss.sd.gov/economicassistance/energyassistance/weatherization.aspx

Reality check: LIEAP is seasonal; apply as soon as the application period opens. Weatherization often has waitlists—get your name in early.

Phone and Internet Discounts

• Lifeline: A federal discount (up to $9.25/month for broadband or bundled service; limited support for voice-only) for qualifying low-income households. South Dakota info via Public Utilities Commission: https://puc.sd.gov/lifeline/ and federal details: https://www.fcc.gov/lifeline

Tip: Ask your phone/internet carrier about low-income plans for seniors. Many offer discounted options beyond Lifeline.

When Cash Is Extremely Tight

• County Poor Relief (medical/limited aid): South Dakota counties may help indigent residents with certain medical costs and, in rare cases, other essentials. Ask your county auditor/treasurer, or call 211 to find your county office. State overview: https://sdlegislature.gov/Statutes/Codified_Laws/2058581 (statutory reference; contact your county for current local rules).
• Emergency help: Helpline Center 211 can connect you with churches, charities, and short-term aid near you: https://www.helplinecenter.org/2-1-1/

Reality check: TANF is for families with minor children and usually doesn’t fit seniors living alone. Focus instead on LIEAP, SNAP, and local aid.

Reality Checks, Tips, and Warnings

• Expect waitlists. Section 8, Weatherization, and dental charity care often take time.

• Update your contact info. Many people lose benefits because agencies can’t reach them.
• Watch out for fees. Most official programs do not charge to apply. If someone asks for payment to get you faster benefits, be cautious and verify with the agency or call 211.
• Reapply or renew on time. Put reminders on your calendar for SNAP, Medicaid, and property tax relief renewals.
