MICHIGAN SCAMS TARGETING SENIORS

  • Don't respond to a telemarketing calls relating to Medicare. Hang up on robocalls or other telemarketing calls pitching insurance plans.
  • Anyone who tries to sell you Medicare insurance while claiming to be an "official Medicare agent" is a scammer. There are no Medicare representatives. If someone comes to your door claiming to be from Medicare remember Medicare does not send representatives to your home.
  • Never give your Medicare number or other personal information to an unexpected caller or someone who makes an unsolicited request for it.
  • Be suspicious of anyone who calls and claims to be able to help you sign up for coverage but needs to confirm your Medicare number, or asks for your Medicare number just to provide you enrollment information.

CENSUS 2020 IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER

If you spend six months or more in Michigan, make sure you are counted as a resident of Michigan in the Census.
Why is this important?
  • For every person not counted in Michigan, the state loses $1,800 each year in federal funds for critical programs, including older adult services.

How can I be counted in Michigan?

  • You can respond to Census 2020 by phone or online.
  • You'll get a unique code by mail in March to use when responding.
  • If you spend more than six months in Michigan each year, use the unique Census code sent to your Michigan address in March or wait until you get home to respond.

What else do I need to Know?

  • Census workers will never ask for your social security number.
  • Your responses are secure and cannot be used against you in any way!
