Scammers are claiming to offer “free” genetic testing kits that allegedly screen for heart conditions or cancer. It’s really a ruse to steal your Medicare information for fraudulent billing and/or identity theft. How the Scam Works ɀȒɖȇƳǣȇǕȒȸǕƏȇǣɿƏɎǣȒȇ٢ȒȇƺɮǣƬɎǣȅٮçȒɖǕƺɎƏƬƏǼǼǔȸȒȅɀȒȅƺȒȇƺƬǼƏǣȅǣȇǕɎȒƫƺǔȸȒȅxƺƳǣƬƏȸƺȒȸƏȇȒǔˡƬǣƏǼ reported to BBB Scam Tracker that they received a call from “the Cardiac Test Center”). The caller claims to be providing free genetic testing kits. All you need to do is agree to receive a kit in the mail, swab your cheek, and return the vial. The test will tell you if you have a genetic predisposition to heart disease, cancer, or another common condition. The caller insists that the test will be totally covered by Medicare. This sounds like a useful (and free) test, so you agree. Of course, there’s a catch! Before the company can mail your kit, they need your Medicare ID number and a lot of personal information. Targets of this scam report being asked extensive questions about their health, such as their family medical history and previous diagnoses. One victim reported: “They kept asking me about my own history and family members going back ɎȒǕȸƏȇƳȵƏȸƺȇɎɀِِِXˡȇƏǼǼɵɀƏǣƳȅɵǔƏɎǝƺȸƳǣƺƳǔȸȒȅƏɀɎȸȒǸƺƏȇƳɎǝƏɎɀƺƺȅƺƳɎȒȷɖƏǼǣǔɵȅƺِɎɎǝƏɎȵȒǣȇɎًɎǝƺɵ ٺɎǝƺɵƏǼȸƺƏƳɵǝƏƳǣɎِÁǝƺȇًɎǝƺɵƏɀǸƺƳǔȒȸǣȇǔȒȒǔǔȅɵxƺƳǣƬƏȸƺƬƏȸƳًƏȇƳXǝɖȇǕɖȵِٮɮƺȸǣˡƺƳȅɵƏƳƳȸƺɀɀ As always, there are several variations of this con. Previous versions involved scammers going door-to-door or setting up tables at health fairs. Con artists may even provide gift cards or other giveaways in exchange for your participation. While genetic testing is a legitimate service—some victims do actually receive a genetic testing kit—the scammers are trying to commit fraud by billing Medicare for the unnecessary tests. For the victims, these cons can lead to medical identity theft and, in some instances, a bill for thousands of dollars. Consumers should always consult with their primary care doctor before agreeing to tests. How to protect yourself from Medicare fraud • Be wary of any lab tests at senior centers, health fairs, or in your home. Be suspicious of anyone claiming that genetic tests and cancer screenings are “free” or “covered by Medicare.” If a product or test is truly “free,” you will not have to provide your Medicare number. ɀȒǔˡƬƺȸƺȷɖƺɀɎɀɵȒɖȸxƺƳǣƬƏȸƺټDon’t share your Medicare number.XǔƏȇɵȒȇƺȒɎǝƺȸɎǝƏȇɵȒɖȸȵǝɵɀǣƬǣƏȇ • information, do not provide it. Also, protect your Medicare card by keeping it in a safe place (not your wallet). ɀȒɖȇƳǣȇǕȇƏȅƺɀȒȸƏȵȵƺƏȸɎȒƫƺٮDo not trust a name or phone number.!ȒȇƏȸɎǣɀɎȒǔɎƺȇɖɀƺȒǔˡƬǣƏǼ • ƬƏǼǼǣȇǕǔȸȒȅƏǕȒɮƺȸȇȅƺȇɎƏǕƺȇƬɵȒȸȸƺǼƏɎƺƳƏȸƺƏƬȒƳƺِxƺƳǣƬƏȸƺɯǣǼǼȇƺɮƺȸƬƏǼǼɵȒɖɎȒƬȒȇˡȸȅɵȒɖȸ personal information, your Medicare number, or ask questions about your personal health. • Report Medicare fraud: If you think you are a victim of Medicare fraud, be sure to report it.

Just about everyone is, at some point in time! Do you help your spouse with daily activities? Do you help an aging parent with chores or money management? Do you help a grandparent with grocery shopping or lawn mowing? Are you helping raise your grandchildren? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you are a caregiver! Sometimes that caregiving role can take over your life. Sometimes it seems like you don’t have a life of your own anymore. You are NOT the only one feeling that stress! Stress-Busters, a program offered by Blue Rivers, is just what you need! Stress-Busters is an evidence-based program that helps caregivers learn to spot the effects of stress, learn various ways to create relaxation when you need it, and how to face the challenges of caregiving. Stress-Busters show you how to change negative thinking into positive, coping skills when facing unchangeable stressors, and how to develop a healthier lifestyle. ׎ȅǣȇɖɎƺɀƏƳƏɵًȒȇƬƺחɀI«00ٍÁǝƺƬǼƏɀɀǣɀǴɖɀɎټÁǝƺƬǼƏɀɀǣɀǔɖȇًƬȒȇˡƳƺȇɎǣƏǼًǣȇɎƺȸƏƬɎǣɮƺƏȇƳǣɎ a week, for 9 weeks on Zoom.

    Corporation for Public Broadcasting Stabilization Funding Request and Justification FY 2021 Submitted to the Office of Management and Budget and to the House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies January 26, 2021 Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) FY 2021 Stabilization Funding Request STATEMENT OF NEED AND REQUEST The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (“CPB”) is very appreciative of the $75 million in stabilization funding in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act of 2020. This financial assistance was vital in providing stability to our nation’s public media system during the early months of the crisis. Today, we request an additional $175 million in stabilization funding to ensure the continued viability of public media stations during this period of extraordinary economic hardship. Although our data indicates that public media’s stabilization needs exceed $400 million, we are mindful of the difficult decisions the new Administration and Congress must make during this time. CPB’s mission is to ensure universal access to high-quality, non-commercial content and telecommunications services that educate, inform and enrich the public. Further, in many states and local communities, public media stations’ digital and broadcast infrastructure provide the backbone for emergency alert, public safety, first responder and homeland security services. If stations are forced to cut additional jobs or further reduce content and services, their
