Fall Medicare Seminar
Retirement Services is offering onsite seminars on Thursday, October 19th at 1 PM @ the OL Town HallͲ to review 2024 Medicare and Medicaid changes and updates. Our goal is to provide clarity which will allow you to understand your options and ensure you make the best decisions during the annual enrollment period. We can check 2024 prescription drug costs and see if there’s any tier changes to your plan. We’ll also check if your plan has any network provider changes that impact you. Also the differences between Original Medicare, Medicare Supplements, Medicare Advantage plans and Prescription drug plans will be covered. We’ll update you on available state assistance programs and qualifications for all tiers of the Medicare Saving Program.
We’ll update you on how recent legislation impacts Medicare prescription drug cost over the next five years. We’re able to answer questions on all the plans offered in the state and how they’re changing next year.
Sustainable Practices Someone Can Do In Their Own Home and Life
This presentation will be held on Thursday, November 2nd at 12:30 PM @ the Congregational Church. Join us in welcoming Teresa Resnick, who will be here to discuss the ways we can personally help the environment. This discussion will include topics such as composting, textile collection, recycling, reusing, educating others, avoiding touch- toss- throw away, creating new uses for old things, and other sustainability topics.
