If you are a single with income of $14,355 or less or a couple making $19,245 or less a year you may be eligible for help paying for some of the Medicare Part D costs. You must have assets of less than $10,000 for an individual or $20,000 for a couple. Assets looked at do not include the value of your home, car, some earned income, or certain property related to burial expenses.
