Individuals automatically qualify for Extra Help if they have Medicare and meet any of these conditions:
- They have full Medicaid coverage
- They get help from their state Medicaid program paying their Part B premiums (in a Medicare Savings Program)
- They get Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits
Medicare mails these Individuals a purple letter to let them know they automatically qualify. They should keep this letter for their records. They do not need to apply for Extra Help if they get this letter.
