Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income (“disability”) benefits provide essential income for people with disabilities. The SSA reviews medical and work history to determine if someone is eligible for disability benefits. The second step in the process, determining if someone meets the definition of disability, happens at the state level and outcomes can vary significantly from one state to the next.  Our team of experienced Client Advocates can guide you through the SSDI application process, no matter what state you live in.  Contact us for help today.

The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) is almost here, which means it’s time for those with Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage or Part D prescription drug coverage to assess their coverage needs as they look ahead at 2025.      From October 15th – December 7th each year, the AEP is an opportunity for beneficiaries to make necessary changes to Medicare coverages. This year, it is especially important for those looking to manage shifting prescription drug costs to understand the upcoming changes to Part D in 2025. In our latest article, we discuss the significance of the elimination of the “Donut Hole” or coverage gap, how much beneficiaries will be expected to cover out-of-pocket, and other impacts to consider when heading into AEP.         #Medicare #MedicareAEP #MedicareCoverage #AnnualEnrollmentPeriod
