Help With Medicare Costs Available
Hi Folks:
Just received letter from Social Security that indicated people with limited income AND resources are able to get financial help from your State Medicare Savings Programs.
The Savings programs may pay for your $96.40 a month taken out of your Social Security checks as well as deductibles and co-payments.
You may qualify if your monthly income is less than $1190 a month if single or $1595 a month if married. Your resources(not counting your home) must be less than $4000 if single or less than $6000 if married.
Your States may have different limits.
Medicare drug insurance has slightly different income limits---less than $1300 if single and less than $1750 a month if married and different resource limits.
Your nearest Office for the Aging has the applications and will assist you.
Please think about your parents or friends with limited income and resources and see if they qualify if they do not already have extra help.
