Extra Help is the federal low income subsidy for Medicare prescription drug costs. Eligibility uses income and resources. It is not the same as a Marketplace APTC.
Your licensed agent can walk a screening. They do not award Extra Help. Apply through Social Security or Medicare using the current federal instructions.
Figures you see in a brochure are illustrative. The award letter is the amount that counts.
Your licensed agent can read a deeper version in Field Notes: open the broker article.
FAQ
Short answers you can use on a call with your agent.
Does Extra Help enroll me in a Part D plan?
Extra Help lowers drug costs if you qualify. You still need a Part D or Advantage plan that includes drugs. Your licensed agent can screen. Social Security or Medicare awards Extra Help.
