Washington,
Nov 3 -
Today the office of U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson (3rd Dist.-Texas) announced free information sessions on Medicare for seniors on Wednesday, November 17th in Richardson and Friday, December 3rd in Rowlett. The programs are free and open to the public.
The seminars, featuring the Dallas Area Agency on Aging, the Social Security Administration, and the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services, will provide an overview of the 2011 Medicare program. These meetings coincide with the annual enrollment period of the Medicare Prescription Drug Program, which runs between November 15th and December 31st. During this annual enrollment period, seniors may switch their current Part D prescription plan to another plan if they so choose.
Benefits counselors with the Dallas Area Agency on Aging will be on hand to discuss the 2011 Medicare program and the annual enrollment period. These experts will be able to provide one-on-one assistance to help individuals sign up or change their Medicare prescription drug plans before the enrollment period ends.
Those with questions about the event should contact Johnson’s office at 972-470-0892.
