To Screen for Potential Eligibility
Not sure if you want to apply for benefits? The Am I Eligible tool on the PEAK website is a tool that can help you see which benefits you might be eligible to receive. To see if you might be eligible for benefits, visit Colorado PEAK and click on the Am I Eligible button. Please note, this tool is not an application, and there are additional benefits you may be eligible to receive that the PEAK website does not screen for. Your local county office will be able to assist you with these additional programs. Click here to find contact information for your local county office.
