Senior Citizens
The following information is for Senior Citizens. Please contact our office for assistance with any questions or problems you may have.
Social Security and Medicare
Our office can help you with determining Social Security benefits, as well as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicare eligibility.
- Do you want to know if you qualify for disability and SSI? Use Social Security's Benefit Eligibility Screening Tool (BEST) to check if you qualify.
- Do you have other general questions about social security services and benefits? Find an answer on the Social Security Administration's Answers to Your Questions page.
Medicare Resources
My offices can also assist with Medicare questions. Recently, we held a Medicare open enrollment Tele-Townhall that covered important information for Medicare beneficiaries. This information is now available online and can be found below. Please contact any of my offices if you need additional assistance.
Do you need more information on the Medicare program? Go to the Medicare Frequently Asked Questions page.
If you have further questions, resources are offered in New York State through the Health Insurance Information, Counseling and Assistance (HIICAP) Program. Contact information is available for each county below:
