OUNTEB Question—There have been re cent reports that some elderly people have been tricked, by indi viduals posing as social security agents, into paying In advance for medicare benefits. What can a person do to protect himself against such swindles? Answer—An elderly person— or anyone for that matter— should beware of any individual who claims to be a social se curity representative and then asks for money to perform a ser vice such as signing you up for the medicare program. Such a person is acting illegally. If someone offers to sign you up in this manner, ask for his identification. If he is really a social security representative, he will be more than happy to present proof of his identity. If you still have doubts about him, call your social security office and ask if they sent the man to see you. Question—People 65 or over who are getting social security and railroad retirement benefits will qualify automatically for the new medicare porgram of hos pital insurance, but they will get supplementary medical insur ance only if they sign up for it These beneficiaries will get a leaflet in the mail containing in formation about the program and an enrollment card for the ance plan to help pay doctors’ bills. When can they expect to get the application card and the Answer - Over 15 millioo ol these applications will be mailed to the people 65 or over who are receiving social security or rail road retirement benefits. The mailing began September 1. Over 1 million leaflets and enroll ment cards are scheduled to be sent each week, but it will take several weeks, perhaps until De cember, to finish the mailing. So if you or one of your friends or relatives have not yet received your enrollmnt application, don’t worry. It should arrive within the next several weeks. Question—I understand that all social security beneficiaries 65 or older will get information in the mail about the new program of health insurance for the aged. What about those people over 65 who, for one reason or another, are not getting social security benefits? How do they register for hospital insurance and medi cal insurance? Answer — Anyone 65 or over who is not getting monthly social security or railroad retirement benefits should visit a social ae- curity office to register for the hospital insurance program. At the same time he car tiie voluntary medical plan if he wants this _ extra protection. Thoae who roU for the suppinuMPt* mcdlopl plan will pay 1 oMthly pre mium and the ment wjl A pejl January 1, March U to be covered ance plan of 1966. Question—The Administration is more ♦*>—» 15 mflMnm se curity beneficiaries, 65 or over, enrollment cards for the volun tary medical insurance program. Just what is involved in filling out the enroUment card? Answer—The procedure is not at all difficult. The card is small and very easy to fill out. Just check the appropriate box on the card: YES, if you’d like to get medical insurance coverage, or NO, if do not want this medical insurance. Then sign your name in the designated space and mail the card back in the postage-free envelope which came with it. You should fill out and mull the card even if you don't want medical insurance. The Social Security Administration will then know that you have had the opportunity to sign up.
