Changes are taking place in Washington that could have an impact on the benefits for retirees.

If you are age 65 or older, or will be turning age 65 within the next 6 months, you probablywant and need to know what Social Security and Medicare currently provide and how to makethe best use of them.

You may also want to know what these plans don’t cover or what their limitations are.

For example:

• Does Social Security provide any death or burial benefits? • Will you be better off electing Medicare Parts A & B and choosing a Medigap plan, or electing Medicare Advantage? • Will you be able to change options in the future? • Will your current medications be covered or will you have to change prescriptions? • What happens if you need to go into a nursing home or get home health care? • Will Medicare or Medigap plans cover your dental, vision, or hearing costs?

Paying forYour Burial

or Cremation

Your Term Insurance protects your family from financial burdens if you die prematurely. But how will your family pay for your final expenses when you die as a senior?

At best, Social Security will provide a maximum of $255 toward your burial/cremation expenses, if you qualify!

Burial or cremation services will cost far more than that. Plus, you may have some debts your heirs will need to cover when you pass.

You sheltered your family from financial burdens before. You can continue to do so. Learn how you can qualify for final expense coverage of between $10,000 and $25,000, even if you have certain health conditions.

A good appointment setting script will greatly increase your success rate. Your objective isto communicate confidence and professionalism in the first 45 seconds of the conversation.In order to do this you must have an opening script that you’re comfortable delivering. It takespractice. Here is a sample script that has proven to be effective.

Good day (NAME OF PROSPECT), I’m (YOUR NAME) an independentinsurance agent who specializes in working with seniors.

I’m calling because you recently completed and mailed in a card whereyou indicated you were looking to find out more about benefits availableto seniors.

I’d like to meet with you to find out what information you were lookingfor and see if there is a way I can help you. I’ve found that many seniorscan benefit from an independent review of their health and life coverages,but may be reluctant to speak with an insurance agent for fear of beingpressured. I can assure you that that’s not the way I operate. I conduct noobligation reviews and, where appropriate, make recommendations.

I’m going to be in your area a little later this week conducting reviews forother folks and wanted to stop by and visit with you (and your spouse, ifapplicable) as well. Which would work better for you?(TIME AND DATE OPTIONS).

Does anyone in your family help you with your decision making? If so,I’d like to meet with them also.

Great! Then I’ll see you (DATE & TIME).

Thanks again. I look forward to meeting with you.
