Social Security Disability FAQs
Can I qualify for extra help with paying for Medicare Part D?
You should get a letter from Medicare saying that you automatically qualify for extra help.
If you don't automatically qualify, Social Security is sending people with limited income resources an "Application for Help with Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Costs."
Get help paying for Medicare
Part D.
If you think you may qualify, call 800-772-1213 or visit www.socialsecurity.gov. After you complete the application, Social Security will mail you a letter telling you if you qualify for extra help.
If you want to apply for the subsidy you must make two applications:
-
one for enrollment in a Medicare plan that covers prescription drugs and,
-
another for the subsidy.
The two applications may be made in either order; but the subsidy does not begin until both steps have been taken.
