Changes in the Medicare law will mean more beneficiaries can receive help with their prescription drugs under the Extra Help program. Before this change many individuals were disqualified from the Extra Help program because their resources were too high. Life insurance policies are no longer considered a resource, which may pave the way for many beneficiaries to now qualify. Also any assistance you receive in paying your bill will no longer be considered as income.
Anyone with limited income and on the Medicare drug program and not on SSI should apply to see if he or she can qualify. It could save you a lot of money on your drug bills.
