Get important Medicare information

Turning age 65 is a time when major Medicare planning takes place. MAC’s free Aging Into Medicare classes will provide you with information needed to make your best Medicare decisions, and how to avoid possible penalties and delays in coverage for failure to enroll during the specified Initial Enrollment Period.

Discussion also will include how Medicare works, what it covers, and how and when to apply.

• Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2 to 4 p.m.
• Tuesday, Oct. 10, 5 to 7 p.m.
