Your complete guide to Social Security retirement, Medicare or Medicaid benefits, and other federal benefits

If you want to get the highest possible retirement or pension income–not to mention the best medical coverage–turn to Social Security, Medicare & Government Pensions to discover the benefits you're entitled to and how to claim them as easily as possible.

Navigate the complex and often daunting Social Security and Medicare systems using the resources and information in this complete guide. Learn about Medicare coverage, including Part D prescription drug coverage, and understand how Medicare Advantage and Medigap insurance plans work and which makes the most sense for you. Also learn how to claim disability benefits, veterans benefits, and federal retirement benefits.

Bonus: If you're denied any medical treatment or benefits, this book teaches you how to file an appeal with Medicare, Social Security, or your state's Medicaid agency.
