Interactive tools

Free tools to check your eligibility and get ready to apply

Everything below runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter here is saved, stored, or sent anywhere — these tools are for your own planning before you apply directly with a carrier.

🔒

Private by design

Each tool runs as client-side JavaScript — your answers never leave your device, unlike forms on lead-generation sites.

⏱️

Two minutes each

Built to be quick — a rough read on eligibility, coverage, or paperwork before you commit time to a full application.

📎

Not a substitute for the real thing

These give general guidance, not an official determination — the National Verifier or your chosen carrier makes the final call.
