redetermination of their extra help with Medicare prescription drug plan costs. We are
doing a quality review to make sure we made the correct decision on these
redeterminations. We picked (fill-in 1) name by chance, NOT for any other reason. To
make sure we made the correct decision on (fill-in 2) redetermination, I would like you
to telephone me at my office on (fill-in 3). For general information about Social Security
or to verify that this is an official communication, you can call our national toll-free
number at 1-800-772-1213.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You do not have to give us the requested information. If you do provide the information
and your subsidy level is correct, we will not have to contact you to review your eligibility
for at least another year unless you report a subsequent change in your income,
resources or household size. However, if the information is incorrect or you do not
provide the information, we may contact you to review your eligibility within the next few
months. Such review of your eligibility could result in your subsidy level increasing,
decreasing or stopping. The Social Security law that allows us to ask you questions is
explained in the enclosed page, Privacy Act and the Paper Reduction Act Notice.
Your cooperation with this review will help us to ensure the process for helping
Medicare beneficiaries with their prescription drug costs is providing the correct help to
the correct people.
We would also like to remind you that if you (and your spouse if married and living
together) have a change in your income, resources or household size, you should report
this information to Social Security.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU CALL
I will identify myself by name as shown at the bottom of this letter. I will ask you some
questions about the information on (fill-in 4) recent redetermination of the extra help
with Medicare prescription drug plan costs.

have checked the things I would like to talk about. If you do not have all of the
