Soon, checks for $250 will be mailed out to seniors who have Prescription D coverage and have fallen into the “doughnut hole.”

You only get a check if you have actually had to pay out because you have fallen into this gap. Just because you have Prescription D coverage does not mean that you will get a check. Seniors who are due checks will get them automatically; you do not have to answer any questions or fill out any forms to get your check.

Beware of scammers wanting to “help you collect your check!”
