A little-known Medicare benefit is going unclaimed by millions of eligible seniors. Check if you're entitled to substantial monthly grocery benefits.
Healthcare experts estimate fewer than 30% of eligible recipients have enrolled. Don't leave money on the table.
"I was spending hundreds on groceries every month. Now I get money loaded onto my card automatically. I had no idea this benefit existed until my pharmacist told me about it."— Mary T., 72, Phoenix resident
Substantial monthly allowance loaded automatically to your card
Groceries, fresh produce, vitamins, OTC medications, and health items
Designed to improve nutrition and overall wellness for seniors
The allowance can be used for a wide range of items including fresh produce, pantry staples, vitamins, and over-the-counter medications at participating retailers nationwide. Unlike food stamps, there are no income restrictions for Medicare recipients who qualify.
According to Medicare data, recipients receive a substantial monthly allowance that varies based on their plan and location. The benefit is loaded onto a prepaid card that works like a debit card at checkout.
