FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES

Call 1-800-701-0501 for application assistance

The New York State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA) is urging income-eligible Medicare beneficiaries in New York to apply for up to $7,300 annually in financial assistance through an expansion in the Medicare Savings Program (MSP).

Medicare beneficiaries in New York are encouraged to apply now that the newly-expanded MSP eligibility income limits are official, based on updates to the federal poverty levels. The 2023 income eligibility limits are $2,280 for an individual and $3,077 for a couple. An application is available on the New York State Department of Health website here.

NYSOFA has more information about this expansion on its website, including a video explaining the MSP application process, flyers, and social media tools to help spread the word about this important program. Please visit https://aging.ny.gov/medicare-savings-program for more information, or call 1-800-0501 for application assistance.
