The ABCs of Benefits Appeals

The National Council on Aging’s (NCOA) Center for Benefits Access is hosting a webinar on how benefits counselors can assist low-income Medicare beneficiaries when their applications are rejected, or a client receives a lesser/partial benefit than expected. This webinar will walk through the application process, the basics of eligibility, and challenging a determination. Presenters will also discuss strategies to troubleshoot and assist clients with appeals if their applications are denied for Part D Extra Help (LIS), Medicare Savings Programs, and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Additional resources on appeals and where to get assistance will also be provided.
