If you have Medicare Part A & B, and you make less than $1,903 a month if you are single or $2,575 monthly if married, and you have resources less than $17,220 singly or $34,360 if married, you may qualify for LIS also known as Extra Help. You don’t have to count your house or the property it sits on or vehicles and other expenses.After the Medicare Q & A, get help applying for Extra Help with your prescription drug plan. It may lower your monthly premium for your prescription drug plan, as low as $0.00, get rid of deductibles and lower the cost of what you pay for your prescriptions.    We are combining this event with our Medicare Q & A session, to assist you in applying for Extra Help with a certified SHIP (State Health Insurance Assistance Program) Counselor Our services are confidential and free of charge.
