Were you born in 1948 or 1949? Are you receiving lots of mail about
Medicare insurance? If so, help is available. Jeanne Murray, UNL Extension
Educator and a Nebraska Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) volunteer, will have an informational presentation on pre-Medicare issues.

The program will be given twice in February.

• The first program will be Tuesday, February 5 at 6:00 p.m. at the
UNL Box Butte County Extension Office, 415 Black Hills Ave,
Alliance.

• The second program will be Thursday, February 7 at 6:30 pm in
the Blue Stem Room at the Panhandle Research and Extension
Center, 4502 Ave I, in Scottsbluff. Enter the building from the doors
off the south parking lot just east of the Nursing College entrance.

Topics to be discussed include how and when to apply for Medicare. Do
want to keep working and delay Medicare, then what? What is meant by Part
A, Part B, and Part D? What are Medicare Advantage plans? What is Medigap
or supplemental insurance? What do I need to consider when choosing a
plan? There will also be information on Medicare’s preventive services and
MyMedicare.gov, the place where your claim information is stored.

For adequate handouts, please RSVP by Monday, February 4, to the
Box Butte Co. Extension office, 762-5616, for the Alliance program; and by
Wednesday February 6 to the Scotts Bluff Co. Extension office, 632-1480, for the Scottsbluff program.
