Prescription Advantage Newsletter Article – Summer 2021

(Per email from; Adam Frank, Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs)

I’m in the “donut hole”. What can I do?? If you have reached or are about to reach that gap in your Part D plan, the Commonwealth’s Prescription Advantage program can help. For individuals with an annual income less than $38,640 (single) or $52,260 (married), Prescription Advantage can lower your co-payments while in this gap. There is no premium for this state-sponsored pharmacy assistance program. Call today for more information at 1-800-243-4636. You can also learn more online at www.prescriptionadvantagema.org.

Whip City Fiber is participating in the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program. For eligible households, this program will provide a discount of $50.00 toward monthly broadband service (one credit per household).

A household is eligible for a monthly $50 credit if one member of the household meets at least one of the following criteria:

  • Experienced a substantial loss of income through job loss or furlough since February 29, 2020 and the household had a total income in 2020 at or below $99,000 for single filers or $198,000 for joint filers;
  • Has an income that is at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines or participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid or the FCC’s Lifeline program;
  • Is approved to receive benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision, in the 2019-2020 or 2020-2021 school year;
  • Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year.

Once your application has been approved, you will need to contact Whip City Fiber at 413-485-1251 to activate your discount.

Some customers will also qualify for Lifeline, an additional $9.25/month applied directly to their internet or phone bill.

You may qualify automatically under federal guidelines if you already receive benefits such as SNAP, SSI, MEDICAID or other similar federal assistance programs.
