Medicare Between January 1 and February 14, if you are in a Medicare Advantage Plan, you can leave the plan and switch to Original Medicare. If you do this, you also have until February 14 to join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan to add drug coverage. This is the only type of change you can make at this time. For more information you can call the plan directly, call Medicare (1-800-633-4227), go to www.medicare.gov or make an appointment with one of the CHOICES-trained counselors at the Riverfront Community Center (860-652-7634.)
Medicare Savings Program Changes The State of Connecticut budget adopted in October included reduced income –eligibility levels for help in paying Medicare Part B premiums and other Medicare out-of-pocket costs. At this time it looks like these changes will not go into effect until March 2018. Significant for those who might lose MSP, this reduction will mean their Medicare Part B Premium, $134 for most people, will be deducted from their Social Security check and for those who become over income for the QMB level, they will lose coverage on Medicare deductibles and cost sharing. The State of Connecticut will continue to keep beneficiaries informed as this process is put into place. If you have questions, information is available on the Connecticut Department of Insurance website, www.ct.gov/c id or by calling one of the CHOICES-trained counselors at the Riverfront Community Center (860-652-7634.)

Help with heating costs is available for qualified renters and homeowners who heat with deliverables (oil, propane, wood) or utilities (gas or electric) through the Energy Assistance program.

Homeowners have a liquid asset limit of $15,000 and renters $12,000, but any assets over those limits may be added to your annual income to see if you still qualify financially. More information and appointments are available by calling Social Services at 860-652-7634.

Keeping you Informed Odd Bits of Information about New Year’s Eve Who Knew???
When religion was suppressed in Soviet Russia, Santa/St. Nick was replaced with Grandfather Frost, called the spirit of winter, who brought gifts on New Year’s and placed them under the “New Year tree”.
Ethiopia has 13 months and they celebrate New Years on September 11.
Until 2006, the Space Shuttle never flew on New Year’s day or eve because its computers couldn’t handle a year rollover.
In an effort to reduce drunk driving, in many locations every New Year’s Eve the AAA will tow your car and give you a lift home for free, even if you’re not a member.
Beethoven’s 9th Symphony was introduced to Japan by German POWs in WWI (who played it for them), and it is now a national tradition to perform it every New Year’s.
In Korea and some other Asian countries, when you are born, you are considered one year old and everyone’s age increases one year on New Year’s. So if you were born on December 29th, you will be considered two years old on the following New Year’s Day.
In 2010, a “Black Widow” suicide bomber planned a terrorist attack in central Moscow on New Year’s Eve, but was killed when a spam message from her mobile phone operator wishing her a happy new year received just hours before the planned attack triggered her suicide belt, killing her, but nobody else. –
Some people wear adult diapers while celebrating New Year at Time Square due to the lack of bathroom facilities.–
