Information for people with limited income and resources

September 20, 2009 by admin

People with limited income and resources may qualify for extra help paying for Medicare prescription drug costs. The amount of extra help you get is based on your income and resources. You can apply or get more information about extra help by calling Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) or visiting www.socialsecurity.gov. *Income levels increase each year. The size of your family can also affect whether you qualify based on income. If you live in Alaska or Hawaii, income levels are higher.
