Benefits of grandchildren
Almost 3 million children in the United States are raised by a grandparent or grandparents, as a recent study published in the September 2020 issue of “Pediatrics” shows. Most of them may even be eligible for Social Security benefits on the basis of such a relationship.
As a general rule, if you’re providing a minimum of half of a minor grandchild’s financial support and the natural parents are deceased, disabled, or simply unable to constantly contribute to that support, the child could collect survivor benefits when you retire, become disabled, or even pass away.
If you are already on Social Security when a grandchild comes into your care, you need to legally adopt the child for him and receive the benefits on your record.

These people want you to change your insurance company to get the card.
You are right. Contacted them and the spiel was about signing up for new insurance.

If you live within 20 miles of any large city there are many food banks that can be found online. As well, if you do not, then many churches give away food once a month to those in need. You can find these online or even using your smartphone, if you have one. Simply enter into the query “local food banks” or “churches giving away food monthly”.
As for utilities, the Salvation Army and Catholic Charities, again online can be found that offer help.
Also, if you are in relatively good health, you can hire yourself out as a companion for other elderly people living alone by placing an ad online or in a local newspaper. Many families are looking for mature trustworthy people that may assist and be a companion to their elderly parent or grandparent that lives alone. You will need some references from friends or past employers or former co-workers that can vouch for your character, however.
