Senators: Extend Part D Enrollment Deadline…
New Jersey’s two U.S. senators on Monday called for the federal government to extend the May 15 deadline for senior citizens to enroll in the new Medicare prescription drug program, commonly called “Part D.”
Sens. Frank R. Lautenberg and Robert Menendez, both Democrat, said many senior citizens remain confused about the program and different prescription plans. In New Jersey, there are 19 providers offering 45 different prescription drug plans, the senators said.
