Under a new law, more Medicare beneficiaries
could qualify for Extra Help with their Medicare
prescription drug plan costs because some things
no longer count as income and resources. The
Extra Help is estimated to be worth an average of
$3,900 per year. To qualify for the Extra Help,
a person must be on Medicare, have limited
income and resources, and reside in one of the
50 states or the District of Columbia. For more
