I would advise you to file taxes because, in some states, you may get a tax credit for having a low income. That ends up being money given to you.

If your income is low, you may be eligible for your state to pay that Part B premium for you. Go to the nearest income support office - the place where you sign up for food stamps. Fill out an application for benefits, including Medicaid.

Here are some benefits you nay be eligible for:

Food Stamps (SNAP program)

Subsidized telephone service (tap program)

Subsidized Internet Connection

Fuel Subsidy (LIHEAP)

Subsidy to pay Medicare Part B premium (a limited form of Medicaid)

More extensive Medicaid benefits

The benefits above usually are all covered by same application.

Applying for housing subsidy (Section 8 subsidy) is done separately at local housing authority office. For this one benefit, there may be a long waiting period.
