About the Medicare Savings Programs
There are three Medicare Savings Programs (MSP) that help you pay for your Medicare Part B premiums. They are the Qualified Medicare Beneficiary program (QMB), the Special Low Income Medicare Beneficiary program (SLMB) and the Additional Low Income Medicare Beneficiary program (ALMB). A household’s income determines which category they qualify for. All three programs pay Medicare Part B premiums. QMB also pays Medicare co-pays and deductibles on Medicare-covered services. It does not cost anything to apply for or receive benefits from this program.
Income limits for the three levels of the program are:
- QMB - $2,021.38 for a single person and $2,728.23 for a couple
- SLMB - $2,212.98 for a single person and $2,986.83 for a couple
- ALMB - $2,356.68 for a single person and $3,180.78 for a couple
The individual then needs to mail the application form to:
DSS
Adult Services, 10th floor
25 Sigourney Street
