Medicare

Medicare covers a lot of the cost of health care, including medications, to those who are retired or totally disabled. Virginia will pay Medicare Part D premiums and co-pays for low-income people who have HIV and Medicare. Learn more...

See whether you are eligible for 
  • Social Security 
  • Medicare 
  • SSI and 
  • seven other programs 
Use Social Security’s online Benefit Eligibility Screener Tool (BEST) https://ssabest.benefits.gov/benefits/browse-by-category/category/53.

Based on your answers to the questions, these tools will list benefits for which you might be eligible and tell you about how to qualify and apply.  Keep in mind, the eligibility screening tools:

  • are NOT applications for benefits
  • do not know, and will not ask you for your name or social security number
  • will not give an estimate of benefit amounts
  • will NOT screen for help with Medicare prescription drug plan costs. If you have Medicare, you might be eligible for this program.
