Yes. If you are single and your income is below $15,600 and your savings, investments and real estate (other than your home) are valued at no more than $11,990, you may qualify for extra help from the government. If you are married and living with your spouse and your income is below $21,000 and your savings, investments and real estate (other than your home) are worth less than $23,900, you may qualify. In some cases, people with limited income and resources will not have to pay premiums or co-insurance for a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan. Income amounts may be higher in Alaska or Hawaii.
