The Extra Help program, also known as the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS), is a program that helps eligible Medicare beneficiaries pay for their prescription drug costs. To qualify for Extra Help, you must meet certain income and resource limits. If you are approved for Extra Help, you will pay little to nothing for your monthly premiums, annual deductible, and prescription copayments or coinsurance. To apply for Extra Help, you can fill out an application online (www.socialsecurity.gov/i1020), by mail, or in person at your local Social Security office.
