Prince Carpenter, a local real estate man, comes by to talk. He offers to buy the farm from Annie, as he has bought the land of most of her neighbors. She struggles to know what to do. Holly Burrell, a family friend, also comes to visit Annie when Dillard shows up unexpectedly before a concert he is playing in the nearby town. They talk Annie into going to his show that night.

By JIM MILLER Editor Dear Savvy Senior, Are there any types of financial assis- tance programs that can help grandpar- ents who are raising their grandkids? I have two grandchildren who are .about to permanently move in with my hus- band and me, and we could use some help. Parents Again Dear Parents When it comes to raising grandkids, you definitely have plenty of company. Across the country about 5.8 million children are living with their grandpar- ents, as the parents struggle with a vari- ety of problems such as financial hardship, drug and alcohol addiction, prison time, domestic violence, divorce and more. To help with the day-to-day expenses of raising grandkids, there are a variety of government programs and tax bene- fits that can make a big difference in stretching your budget. Hereis where to look for help. Financial Assistance For starters, find out whether your family qualifies for your stateis Tempo- rary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, which may include cial cash assistance, food stamps and free or low-cost daycare. Or, if your household income is too high to qualify as a family, ask about the ichild-only granti for just the grandchildis support alone. Also, find out if yeur state offers any addi- tional programs like guardianship sub- sidies, non-parent grants or kinship care. Contact your state TANF program (see www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ofa for con- tact information), or call your county so- services office for more information. You also need to find out if your grandkids are eligible for Social Secu- rity, including benefits for children, sur- vivor benefits or SSI. You can find this out at your local Social Security office, or call 800-772-1213 WWW.SSa.2O0V. And finally, use benefitscheckup.org, a comprehensive web resource that helps you search for additional financial assistance programs that you may be el- igible for, such as lower energy bills, discounts on prescription medications and more. ’ or - see Tax Benefits ‘In addition to the financial assistance resources, Uncle Sam offers some tax benefits that may help you too like the Dependency Exemption which allows you to deduct $3,800 in 2102 on gach qualifying grandchild. Thereis also the Earned Income Tax- Credit or EITC which is available to those with moderate to low incomes; or the Child Tax Credit if you make too much money to qualify for the EITC, If youire working, and are incurring child care expenses in order to work, therefs a Child and Dependent Care Credit that can help. And, if you choose to legally adopt your grandkids, thereis an Adoption Credit that provides a fed- eral tax credit of up to $12,650 per child. There are even education-related tax credits through the American Opportu- nity Tax Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit to help if your grandkids go to college. To learn more about these tax benefits call 800-829-1040, or visit Www.irs.gov. You can also call the IRS publication line at 800-829-3676 and .ask them to mail you the following publications: 501, 503, 596, 970, 972, and Form 88309. Health Insurance : If your grandkids need health i insur- ance, depending on your income level, you may be able to get free or low-cost health insurance through your stateis Financial Resources for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Medicaid and the Childrenis Health In- surance Program. See insurekidsnow.gov or call 877-543-7669 for more information. Legal Issues You also need to talk to a family law attorney to discuss the pros and cons of obtaining legal guardianship, custody or adoptioh. Without some sort of legal custody, you may not be eligible for many of the previously listed financial assistance programs, and there can be problems with basic things like en- rolling your grandkids in school, or giv- ing a doctor permission to treat them. « If your need help locating affordable or free legal assistance use findlegal- “help.org, or call the Eldercare Locator at 800-677-1116 for referrals. . : Savvy tip: To find support with other grandparents - who are raising their grandchildren, visit the AARP Grand- Care Support Locator at giclocalsup- : port.org ‘where you can search for support groups in your area.
