What's New
- Criminals are targeting older Americans on Medicare using a variety of fraud schemes tied to the coronavirus pandemic. Keep two things in mind to avoid getting scammed:
- Medicare will never contact you out of the blue in a phone call, email, text message or social media post. Unsolicited communications are a red flag.
- Medicare will never ask you for your Medicare number (it already has it) or other sensitive data, such as a credit card number.
- Read more from the AARP on how to spot a scammer and what to do if you think you've been scammed.

How to Protect Yourself from COVID-19
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating and after going to the bathroom, blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
- If you do not have soap and water, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Cough or sneeze into an elbow if no tissue is available. Wash your hands.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household disinfectant cleaning spray or wipe.
- Wear a cloth face covering in public settings.
