Do you know Social Security will help with the cost of Medicare Prescription drugs?

My health plan sent a letter today saying if you are on a limited income you may qualify for help paying for your medicine. For more info
go to www.socialsecurity.gov or call 1-800-772-1213. TTY users call 1-800-325-0778

Hopefully all your answers will help those that need assistance with their pharmacy bills. My retirement pkg includes all drug coverage with no medical/drug co-pay. I consider myself very fortunate.

If you visit the site listed above you will find all the information that you need. The limits change each year. If you need additional help or have trouble finding what you need there is a toll free number listed which you can call and get an answer without going through the ridiculous wait time associated with the number you listed at the top of the page. You also have the option of filling out a form and having the proper information sent to you. There are many different plans associated with low-income individuals and it is a good idea to investigate these options as you may save a lot of money.
I hope this helps

The donut hole means you are responsible for your share of Part D, not the whole retail cost. You have to apply for Extra Help Part D.

I think as you have stated limited income. It's like less than $9600 annually I believe.
