The Social Security Administration is reminding the public that the end of Medicare Open Enrollment is near, an annual opportunity for those enrolled in Medicare to reevaluate their plans. The final day for open enrollment is Saturday, December 7th, 2024 and Jack Myers, Public Affairs Specialist with the Social Security Administration says that plans, prescriptions, and changes in health are all important to consider.

If a change is needed, the switch can be made up until Dec. 7th and will be effective January 1, 2025. If no changes are necessary, no actions need to be taken.

Myers directs those with questions about Medicare to www.medicare.gov or 1-800-Medicare and for the Illinois Department on Aging to 800-252-8966.

Jack Myers appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
