This is to remind local social services districts of the first stage of of the Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) which provides new prescription benefits to Medicare enrollees. Enrollees may sign up in May with access to benefits beginning June 1, 2004 and extending through December 31, 2005 (and could carry into 2006 until enrolled in Part D). Although enrollees will not sign up for this benefit at the local social services district offices but through Medicare, we want to familiarize you with the program.
