Extra Help (Low-Income Subsidy): How Medicare Can Lower Your Prescription Drug Costs in 2026

An educational workshop to help you understand one of Medicare’s most valuable prescription drug assistance programs.

Extra Help (Low-Income Subsidy): How Medicare Can Lower Your Prescription Drug Costs in 2026

If prescription drug costs feel confusing, overwhelming, or unpredictable, you’re not alone.

Extra Help, also known as the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS), is a federal program that can significantly reduce Medicare Part D drug costs — but many people don’t realize they may qualify or misunderstand how it works.

This on-demand educational workshop walks you through the basics clearly and calmly, so you can decide what steps, if any, make sense for you.

In this short presentation, you’ll learn:

  • What Medicare’s Extra Help (Low-Income Subsidy) program is

  • Who may qualify — and why some people qualify automatically
  • What income and resources Social Security reviews
  • How the application process works and where to apply
  • What the determination letter means and when benefits typically begin

This workshop is designed to give you clarity without overwhelm.
