September & October 2025

Are we having fun yet? With 2/3rds of 2025 over and the last rose of Summer in front of us, I hope that you’ve been having fun—enjoying life!

Getting or know someone who is ready to collect Social Security? We have limited sessions planned for in-person classes here at the center. Medicare 101 is planned for Monday, September 15th at 7:00pm. Medicare Update is scheduled for Monday, October 13th at 12:45pm. If you are not comfortable with the in-person classes you can still watch the Medicare 101 classes being offered on the Chester County Library website (https://www.ccls.org/ then click on Events Calendar, you can search for “Medicare” or search by library). They will have information and resources available to help you transition to the world of Social Security. Many of the programs available are governed by dates and you don’t want to fall into lapses of time that cost you penalties and/or no coverage. Ignorance may be bliss, but is also expensive!! A Medicare Update class for those already on Medicare will also be held. Check that web-site for more information on the Update Classes. Learn all the new things for 2026.

Beginning October 15th we will be able to enroll you in a new plan if you so desire. When you come in be sure to bring a complete list of all your current medications, strengths and dosage as they may have changed since last year. If you have a “My Medicare” account, bring your account ID & Password. Call early to set your appointment. Open enrollment is from October 15th to December 7th. After December 7th it will be too late to make any changes for 2026. Don’t procrastinate!

There will be individual meetings sponsored by the various insurance companies in our area - Keystone 65, Humana, and Aetna. Make yourself available to all of these informational meetings to be held. You will receive mailings with dates & times. There will also be opportunities to hear about changes in Medicare and Health Insurance. This information may be helpful to you if you are dissatisfied with your current carrier. If you are satisfied with your provider, I will be glad to assist you in filling out your renewal forms. If you have any questions, be sure to call to set an appointment. No question is too dumb or insignificant. It is not necessary to renew Supplement Plans.

When coming in for any appointment, be sure to bring everything you have received concerning your need. I’d rather you bring too much than have to send you home for more information.

You can now apply for Retirement or Disability benefits, get a replacement Medicare card, request a benefit statement, and change your address online. Just go to www.socialsecurity.gov. It’s easy and secure.

There is still time to file your Tax/Rent Rebate Forms. Tax receipts MUST BE HAND STAMPED PAID. Those of you who have filed recently should begin receiving your checks. See page 12 for information

As you can see, time marches on. Things change, programs change, people change, but the Center is here for you to help you enjoy your senior years! Call if you have any questions. We’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Have a great September. Take time to smell the leaves burning, take a walk, & enjoy the beautiful weather. Be safe!
