The Consolidated Benefits Office hosts “Medicare & You” seminars throughout the year.  If you are a retiree eligible for Medicare in the upcoming twelve months, you should attend! You will receive valuable information regarding Medicare, along with handouts from Senior Services and the Social Security Administration. You will leave with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions regarding your healthcare needs beyond Medicare eligibility! Seating will be limited, so registration is required to attend.
