Pharmaceutical Assistance program or SeniorCare.

level, you may receive SeniorCare* prescription coverage. (Last
year, these amounts were $17,720 for a single person and
$23,880 for a married couple. New amounts will be set by the
federal goverment in February 2003.)
If you do not qualify for SeniorCare*, you may receive
Pharmaceutical Assistance prescription coverage.
