MEDICARE SAVINGS PROGRAM
Are you on Medicare and paying for your Part B premium?
If your monthly incomes is less than $2,786 (gross) as a single or $3,754 (gross) as a couple per month, you could be eligible for the Medicare Savings Program (MSP).
Depending upon your income level, you could be eligible for 3 benefits.
1. The MSP will pay for the Part B premium for Medicare coverage.
2. You would be eligible for the Low Income Subsidy which pays the full monthly premium of a Medicare Part D (prescription coverage) benchmark plan, or a portion of a non-benchmark plan, yearly deductibles and co-insurance, or co-pays. It also allows you to change your Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage plans outside of the open enrollment period.
3. You may be eligible for the MSP to act as your supplemental health insurance.
If you would like more information or would like to apply for this program, call the Senior Center office.
AARP MATURE DRIVER SAFETY CLASS
Why Take a Defensive Driving Course?
The AARP Smart Driver course is the nation’s first refresher course specifically designed for drivers
age 50 and older. In many states, drivers may benefit from a discount on their auto insurance
premium upon completing the course. Contact your insurance company to find out. And you will
learn something new along the way. In fact, an evaluation of the course found that 97% of
participants changed at least one driving habit as a result of what they learned.
