Further web research indicates this is a legitimate call, originating from a company affliated with the AARP: http://www.bdtrust.org/projects/12 , which seeks to find elderly people who qualify for food stamps. Does not appear to be a scam, but it's certainly an intrusive call. I would not encourage anyone to answer questions about their income to a stranger on the phone.

The call I received from this number was from someone who said he was from the Washington Benefit Center. He asked me by name and said I might qualify for food stamps. He asked me a lot of questions about my household size and income. I refused to answer them and told him I wasn't interested. He went away politely.
There is nothing on the web called the Washington Benefit Center.
