How do I apply?

1) Fill out the attached form.

2) Sign and date the last page of the application. If you and your spouse are applying, you both must sign.

3) Mail or take the form and copies of your Medicare card and any other insurance cards to your local Department of Human Services (DHS) office.

You will not be required to visit the county office. If there are any questions about your application, a caseworker may contact you. You will be placed in the Medicare savings benefit package with the most coverage based on your eligibility. You will receive a notice in the mail within 45 days telling you if you qualify for Medicare savings benefits and when your eligibility will begin.

If you are approved for QMB, SMB, or QI-1, Medicaid will pay your monthly Medicare premium. This is called the Buy-In. The Buy-In should occur within 90 to 120 days from the time you receive your approval notice. You will receive a reimbursement check for the premiums you paid from your first month of eligibility to the time Buy-In begins. If you do not see an increase in your Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits within 120 days after your application has been approved, contact your local DHS office.

NOTE: This is not an application for full Medicaid coverage, cash assistance, or food stamps. If you want to apply for these programs, contact your county Department of Human Services.
