Your years of paying taxes have helped children and families put food on their tables when they were out of work or struggling with an illness. In other words, you’ve paid your dues.

 

But what about the paperwork and the hassles of applying at a government office? What would you say, if I told you it’s as simple as calling us to apply online? You don’t even need a computer or an Internet connection. We will take care of submitting your application to the state after a short interview with a friendly benefits counselor.

 

Each year thousands of seniors call us asking for help which costs you nothing but a few minutes of your time. And we don’t stop there. We have a dedicated employee from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services on staff who will help you navigate the bureaucracy and follow up with you if you have questions about your application.

 

But I’m not eligible, you might be thinking. Don’t prejudge yourself. Let us screen you for eligibility. It only takes two to three minutes to answer eight questions to see if you might qualify for a Michigan Bridge Card.

 

Even if you might not qualify for a Bridge Card, you may be eligible for help paying for Medicare and your Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Benefit. What do you have to lose by calling 877-664-2233?  We can be reached Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

 

A little time out of your day might pay off with extra funds each week to buy your medicine, pay the utility bill, or just buy enough food so you don’t have to skip meals next month.
