Description
There are bills landing in your mailbox every month that you may not have to pay at all โ not because of a loophole, but because there are programs that will pay them for you if you qualify, and millions of seniors who DO qualify have no idea. In this video we walk through 5 major bills you may be able to stop paying after 65, the real 2026 numbers, exactly who qualifies, and precisely how to apply. This isn't about clipping coupons โ it's about thousands of dollars a year you may be leaving on the table.
What we cover:
- The $202.90 Medicare Part B premium โ and the programs that wipe it out
- Prescription drug costs โ how Extra Help cuts them to a few dollars per drug
- Heating and cooling bills โ the program that pays your utility company directly
- Property taxes โ the senior exemptions nearly every state offers
- The Medicare IRMAA surcharge โ how to appeal and remove it
Honest truth: These are not automatic exemptions. They're income-based programs you have to apply for โ but the income limits are higher than most people assume, many states are more generous than the federal minimums, and millions who qualify never enroll. Here's how to find out if that's you.
This channel is for education, not personal financial advice.
Free resources & how to apply:
- Medicare Savings Programs โ apply at your state Medicaid office | 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227)
- Extra Help (prescription costs) โ apply through Social Security | 1-800-772-1213 | ssa.gov
- Energy assistance (LIHEAP) โ dial 211
- Property tax relief โ call your county assessor's office
- IRMAA appeal โ Form SSA-44 at ssa.gov
- Free personalized help โ State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP): shiphelp.org
If this helped, share it with someone on Medicare or Social Security โ the people who need these programs most are usually the ones who never found out they existed. Subscribe for plain-English help keeping more of your money.
