## Tools (3)

- `find_programs_by_zip`: List the federal, state, and county senior-benefit programs that apply where a person lives, from their 5-digit ZIP code. Each program includes its cited government source URL, a last-verified date, and an apply-guide link on discoverseniorbenefits.com. Optionally filter by jurisdiction level or category keyword.
- `get_program_details`: Full public details for one program by its id (ids come from find_programs_by_zip or run_eligibility_scan): description, cited government source, how to apply, documents required, and the apply-guide link on discoverseniorbenefits.com.
- `run_eligibility_scan`: Check which senior-benefit programs a person likely qualifies for, using a deterministic rule engine tied to cited .gov sources — no AI guessing. Only age and zip_code are required; every extra field provided turns needs-more-info programs into definite answers. Include marital_status whenever known — many programs' income limits depend on it, so it resolves far more programs than most fields. The full guided check at https://discoverseniorbenefits.com/scan covers additional signals.
