If you are a senior a part of the Medicare Part D prescription drug program, Social Security is hoping you'll consider joining a program to help you save money this year.

Meghan Forristall with Social Security explains the program helps with covering costs of the Part D coverage including premiums, co-pays and deductibles.

Forristal points out, you would not contact Social Security to enroll but you can visit their website or stop into your local office for more information.

Forristall says your local senior center might even have someone that could help you get enrolled in the program. You can visit socialsecurity.gov/extrahelp or stop into your local Social Security office for more information.
