Disclaimer

PartDExtraHelpexplains the federal Medicare Part D Low-Income Subsidy (“Extra Help”) and state Medicare Savings Programs.

• It is not a government site. It is not affiliated with Medicare, CMS, or the Social Security Administration.
• It is not a Medicare broker and does not sell insurance.
• It is informational — not legal, financial, tax, or insurance advice.

For your individual case, contact your state SHIP counselor (free, federally funded), the Social Security Administration (for Extra Help), or your state Medicaid office (for a Medicare Savings Program). They make the actual decisions.

We do not collect your personal financial details. The eligibility check runs in your browser; your income and resource figures are never logged. The estimate it produces is general guidance, not a determination of eligibility or benefits.

Dollar limits and program rules change, sometimes mid-year. We pin a last-verified date to our figures and cite the primary source so you can confirm the current number. If anything here conflicts with CMS or SSA, the agency’s current figure controls.

Be cautious of anyone who pressures you, charges a fee to “sign you up” for free programs, or promises a “best plan.” Those are warning signs — your free SHIP counselor can help instead.
