Never To Be Forgotten always loved the song Dixie, never noting why it was written, what it meant, or what various folks make of its words. I simply love the song. I only know that, of late, if I ever want us to sing it, there are objections because some now say it is not “politically correct.” I suppose that’s why I took a look at it. While going through some songs on You Tube, I saw Mitch Miller’s rendition of Dixie. Listening to the music, I read the message that was shown as it played. Part of the message mentioned something I never knew about the Confederate flag that is so hated by many (and has become symbolic to some).

On Mitch Miller’s version of the song, Dixie, a message appeared that stated: The Red field represents the blood of Christ. The White borders represent the protection of God, The Blue X represents the Christian Cross of Saint Andrew the first disciple of Christ Jesus, and Patron Saint of Scotland. The 13 Stars represent the 13 States of secession.

The message in the Confederate Battle Flag is “through the blood of Christ, with the protection of God, we thirteen states are united in our Christian Fight for Liberty.”

It is really a shame that many (actually ALL) things that have a fine beginning and purpose, as time goes on become pointedly criticized, hated and/or put to bad usage.

Originally Dixie was written by Daniel Decatur Emmett in his New York apartment

I

Short Term Rehab Services

You Name It …by Kitty Maiden building. His employer was Bryant’s Minstrels and the song was to be for an upcoming stage show in1859. He looked at the weather and said “I wish I was in Dixie.” It became very popular throughout the north but was slow to catch on in the South. It took more than two years to hear it and longer to embrace it. It was judged to be an anthem of the Confederacy.

At the end of the Civil War, Lincoln recognized the song’s power and, attempted to reclaim Dixie as an American, rather than Confederate, song. He told a crowd in Washington, “Our adversaries over the way attempted to appropriate it, but I insisted that we fairly captured it.”

Dixie remained a part of the Confederate identity in spite of everything. It was a simple minstrel ditty that “150 years of history have loaded with political, racial, military, and social connotations. For better or for worse, Dixie was the South’s anthem and could always be.

By time you and I were born, it was just a beautiful tune to hear, to sing, and to march by. Someone decided to “change his tune.”

Antiques Lionel Train Sets

ALF#5052

Q: I have two train sets in their original boxes from the 1950s. One is a Lionel Berkshire 2-8-4 die-cast steam locomotive and die-cast tender, number 8-8215; the other is a Lionel train nickel-plated extended caboose, number 6-6905. Can you recommend a good reference book for these items?

—Victoria, Rio Rancho, New Mexico A: There are several excellent references, but my personal favorite is The Standard Catalogue Of Lionel Trains 1945-1969, by David Doyle and published by Krause Books.

This excellent guide is the most complete book of its kind and features more than 1,100 photos, detailed descriptions, and accurate current-market values. This helpful reference should keep you on track. *** Q: I found a St. Christopher medal in a Goodwill store that is unusual in that it has an image of Mary embossed on its back.

It is made from a gray metal, perhaps pewter.

Does this feature make this medal unique?

—Cheryll, Saratoga, FL A: St. Christopher is the patron saint of travelers. Millions of his medals have been distributed throughout the years. Although your medal has a less common design, it still has very little value to collectors unless it is made of silver, gold, or a precious metal. I suspect your medal is, indeed, made of pewter.

Q: When I was in London during the 1960s, I purchased a biography of Beardsley, the illustrator, by Stanley Weintraub.

It is a first edition in near mint condition.

I can't remember how much I paid for it, but am curious to know if it has increased much in value.

—Bill, San Angelo, Texas A: Your biography was published by W.H. Allen in 1967. I contacted several rare-book dealers, and they seem to agree that it is probably worth about $100. *** Q: I have a collection of World War II gasoline ration stamps issued two days before the end of the war. I would like to sell them.

—Lucien, Warren, Rhode Island A: Even though gasoline and sugar ration stamps are less common than many of the others issued, there are still fairly plentiful. I have seen them sell at shows for a couple of dollars per sheet.

June 2, 2017—Seniors Today—Page 3 There's No Such Thing As A Quick Deed eople often hear from friends and relatives that they should sign a quick deed or a quick claim deed. There is no such thing. There is a type of deed called a quit claim deed.

It is not favored because it does not indicate that the grantor owned the property. It is not advisable to sign any type of deed without legal advice.

Often people sign deeds to avoid probate. There may be more disadvantages than advantages in doing so. Probate is a reasonable procedure for handling many estates.

Several issues should be considered before conveying an interest in property to anybody.

If there is any chance the owner might need nursing home care within the next five years, adding a name to the title may disqualify the owner. Although one’s home is an exempt asset, transferring an interest negates the exemption. The tax basis of the property may be an issue. If one gives away an interest in property value while alive, the grantee receives the grantor's tax basis.

On the other hand, if property passes at death, the tax basis is stepped up to date of death value.

Adding a name to title is irrevocable. To remove the name, or to sell or

Elder Law …by Michael A. Pyle

mortgage the property, the signature of the person grantee is required.

A creditor of the grantee could attach the property. The homestead only applies to the person claiming homestead.

If the person whose name has been added to title dies, title may pass to a person other than the original owner.

If there is a mortgage on the property, the Department of Revenue requires that documentary stamps be paid. If they are not paid, the state may charge penalties and interest.

These are some reasons we discourage adding a name to title. It is often better to handle the transfer of the home through the probate process. There are types of deeds and other choices that do not have the problems, stated above, but no choice is foolproof.

Smart Kids Can Be Dumb

by George Goldtrap marvel that children live past age three. They are forever falling, getting hit, or breaking something. My friend Lee and I were not exceptions. We constantly endangered either ourselves or each other.

Fortunately our parents never knew.

Both of us had loving, providing, parents and good supervision. The problem is, no parent can supervise 24/7 —nor guarantee safety when dealing with immature minds.

Lee was fascinated with an ancient, muzzle loading shotgun which had been in his family for generations. Thought non-functional, Lee had discovered that by placing Roy Rogers paper caps in the hammer mechanism, cocking the hammer, and pulling the trigger, he could make the gun ‘pop.’ It seemed safe— WRONG! No gun is safe to play with.

Lee had an upstairs bedroom all to himself, a teenager’s dream. Home alone one day, he noticed a neighbor girl playing outside his window. What fun he thought, to scare the girl—make her think he was shooting at her. He’d yell at ‘Miss Prissy’ and ‘BOOM’—scare the daylights out of her.

He grabbed the old gun, reasoning that by doubling the load of ‘caps,’ he could get a ‘super bang.’ The caps were placed in the hammer, which was now ready to cock. It took a bit of force to get the hammer back to the full cocked position. Holding the gun upright, butt on the floor, he pushed down hard on the hammer. Almost fully cocked, he exerted the final push. Suddenly, his hand slipped and the hammer plunged forward.

BOOM!!!

The gun exploded. Smoke filled the room. Shot peppered the ceiling while tissue paper wadding floated down everywhere. The gun had been loaded all these years. The double load of caps had ignited the long dormant charge.

Terrified, Lee tried to composed himself. Thankfully no one was home. How could he account for the ‘alterations’ in the ceiling? Ah... there on the wall, a calendar with beautiful pictures. Quickly, he stapled six pictures over the ceiling wounds. If his parents asked, he’d explain—lying in bed he could meditate on this beautiful, ‘personal art gallery.’

Years elapsed before anyone save a select few knew of the near disaster. The neighbor girl never knew. Lee had learned ‘unloaded’ guns can fire—they can kill.

Then in 1954, I committed a stupid, typical kid act that endangered the life of my closest friend. With Lee, our ‘resident scientist’ leading—our chemistry

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap

class was making chlorine gas, the same gas used by Germany in WWI to kill thousands. It has practical uses and is common in chemistry classrooms. Because chlorine gas can diffuse into the air, we were to avoid breathing it.

As he generated the gas, Lee carefully transferred it into glass beakers which he then covered. Even using great care, the fumes were very strong. He needed a gas mask. With none available, he improvised, using a ten foot, one inch diameter rubber hose as a breathing tube. Demonstrating ingenuity and safety, he placed the tube in his mouth with the other end dragging under the experiment table, where fresh air was abundant.

Meanwhile, unnoticed, I managed to quietly ‘take’ one of the newly created beakers of gas and crawl under the experiment table. Finding Lee’s lifeline, I dropped it into the beaker of gas.

Unaware, Lee breathed in. Immediately the chlorine burned and paralyzed his lungs. It was as if a freight train had hit him in he chest! Convulsing and gasping, he sought an open window.

Finally able to straighten up, Lee fled the room with me in pursuit. I urged him to run to my car. I would immediately take him to a neighborhood doctor. We asked no one. We just left.

We arrived at nearby Dr. Duff’s office who assured that damage had indeed been done. Lee’s lungs were burned and he would be uncomfortable the rest of the evening and maybe into tomorrow —but he would live providing he relaxed and breathed lots of clean fresh air.

Dr. Duff made no records and charged nothing. Good thing. I have no idea where I would have gotten the money.

While taking Lee home, I confessed to my thoughtless stunt. Lee might forgive me but could I forgive myself?

We managed to get into the house with just a cursory explanation as to the ‘chemlab accident.’ The next day Lee was back in school.

Two scary events should be enough to frighten anybody, but teenage boys are not ‘anybody’ and our capers continued into manhood.

Lee and I remain friends to this day, and often laugh together, but I don’t laugh any more about the ‘much to close for comfort’ gas assault. It was stupid.

Justice For Ponce Special to Seniors Today he Justic For Ponce group was started April 8, 2017 after reading an article concerning a Ponce Inlet, Florida man who had brutally killed his dog, Ponce. The group morphed from a few people to thousands within two days and now has a total of 9,119 members. By Memorial Day weekend the group hope was to have more than 10,000 on board.

The groups two goals are to get Justice For Ponce via the legal system and to increase animal abuse penalties from a 3rd degree felony to a 2nd degree felony which would be punishable by up to a 15 year prison term. The most an animal abuser can get currently is up to 5 years. In addition, at the court discretion, the animal abuser would not any animals in the future.

So what can you do to help? What is needed now is for everyone to join the group, Justice For Ponce, on Facebook, and to sign the petition that is pinned to the top of the page. There are now over 20,000 people who have signed the petition. The petition is called Harsher Punishment And Stricter Laws For Animal Cruelty– Ponce's Law found on the website: change.org Those interested in helping bring justice for this particular case are encouraged to write to the following: R.J. Larizza State Attorneys Office 251 N. Ridgewood Avenue Daytona Beach, Florida 32114 Case # 2017 301837CFDB Ask that Travis A. Archer be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Online Predators Sting ast month, for five straight days, online predators looking for sex with teenage girls and boys in Volusia County all came to the same sudden realization: They were chatting with undercover law enforcement officers, not children.

By the end of our undercover sting, Operation Indecent Proposal, a joint effort between the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office and several other local, state, and federal agencies, 14 men were arrested after traveling here to meet juvenile victims.

Many of the predators were local. Some came to a decoy house to meet their victims, while others set up meetings in public spaces. One drove about 92 miles with heroin in his car to meet with a 14-yearold. One was driven to the decoy house by his mother.

All were ultimately taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail and will answer for their decisions through the criminal justice system.

This effort exposes an unpleasant element of human behavior: Adults preying on vulnerable young people. As online social networking apps and other tools have advanced and proliferated, the scope of this activity on kids’ computers and cell phones often extends beyond what parents can control or monitor.

We believe we can engage and interrupt these offenders through proactive operations like the one we just concluded. If we can prevent the sexual abuse of one child, today or in the future, our efforts will have been worthwhile. The 14 arrests in Operation Indecent Proposal included a social services contractor who has been working with children, a registered sex offender who absconded from New York, and a Jacksonville man who said he’s been chatting with juvenile females online daily for three years.

Our efforts wouldn’t be possible without the cooperation of law enforcement organizations from across this state and country.

While we were the hosts of this most recent operation, others are joining us in the fight.

We thank our partners just as we thank you for your support in continuing to make Volusia County a safer place for the innocent—and an unwelcome destination for those who would do harm to our children.

To Your Good Health Diabetic Meds Caused Leg Weakness?

King Features Dear Dr. Roach: I have peripheral neuropathy symptoms in my feet. I am borderline diabetic and keep it under control by eating right. Also, my legs are weak, and I am doing exercises. I was taking the drug Reglan for a couple of months. During the time I was taking it was when I started to have these leg problems. Could this be a side effect of the Reglan?

—G.D. Answer: Diabetic neuropathy is a complication of longstanding diabetes, especially if it has been poorly controlled. Occasionally, it can show up seemingly early in the course of Type 2 diabetes, but this is thought to represent a delay in diagnosis in otherwise asymptomatic disease or in those who have ignored symptoms. The symptoms of diabetic neuropathy usually begin with numbness, and later on pain and tingling of the feet. Weakness, when it happens, generally comes later on.

Metoclopramide (Reglan) is used for nausea and vomiting, especially after chemotherapy, and is used to stimulate the stomach emptying in people with diabetic gastroparesis, which is a type of neuropathy of the nerves to the stomach and intestines. Many or most diabetics with gastroparesis also have diabetic neuropathy. However, metoclopramide should not be given for more than eight weeks due to the risk of tardive dyskinesia, a serious disease of motor control, especially in the facial muscles.

Although tardive dyskinesia can cause symptoms in the limbs, weakness would be unusual, and tardive dyskinesia would be very unusual if you took the Reglan only for two months and have stopped.

I think it is unlikely that either diabetic neuropathy or the Reglan are causing the muscle weakness. There are many kinds of neuropathies, and all (or nearly all) are more common in people with diabetes. I would revisit your doctor to try to find out more about why you are having leg weakness.

Readers: Diabetes has become epidemic in North America. The booklet on it offers insight into its diagnosis and treatment.

Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** Dear Dr. Roach: We always hear about superfoods and their antioxidant power. Is there any truth to the hype?

—H.C. Answer: I know what you are saying; blueberries, kale, and acai berries often are called superfoods. I don't really know what superfoods means. These foods are generally healthy, as part of a balanced diet, but it doesn't mean that eating them can make you live forever—or even erase bad food choices.

To me, a healthy diet is one with lots of diversity—many different fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and fish and limited amounts (or none) of red meat, saturated fat, and processed foods. Health isn't found by sticking to a fad diet, but by a lifetime of healthy eating, regular exercise, stress reduction, good social interactions, and being fortunate enough to avoid injury and disease. Making good choices dramatically improves your odds of a healthy life. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

Old Dog he old dog laid on the porch every afternoon waiting on the school bus. He knew to be there a few minutes before 3 o’clock to see the kids come down the street.

He was always there at preciously the same time. It was as if he had his own personal clock hidden somewhere to make sure he did not miss that bus unloading.

A couple of minutes before the bus would arrive, if you happened to be where you could see him laying there, you would see his tail start to wag. As if on cue he would rise and walk down the steps and stand looking up the street as the bus would pull to the corner. His wagging tail would pick up speed and a whimper would follow as he saw the two children he had been waiting on step off the bus. He would muster his tired ol’ legs to move forward.

There was a time in which his gate was fast and he would meet the children half way up the street. Now it was more of a gesture that he head in that direction. He walked slowly and the kids ran to him. Down on their knees is where they would go when they met, and then they wrapped him in hugs and pats on the head. This always seemed to give him an added rush of energy and he would nuzzle them back and try to jump up and greet them.

The three of them would walk slowly back to the house with the sounds of chatter from the kids and the jingle of dog tags filling the air.

He would follow them right to the door and watch as they entered the house. The

Winding Roads …by Byron Spires

whole scene had lasted only a few minutes, but it was time to go and lay back on the porch and wait for the kids to come back out. There was a time when that would mean chasing a ball or running off to play somewhere in the neighborhood with other kids. He would tag along, but he couldn’t run like he did a few years back.

They say animals can’t love, that it is only a response to the way they are treated. A pat on the head, a hug, a back scratch was all he wanted in return. It was unconditional on his part and it was love. One day the kids came home from the bus to find the ol’ dog still laying on the porch. He was trying feebly to wag his tail, but his strength was failing. Soon the whole family was circled around him and each one placed a hand on his frail tired body. He looked at each one of them, and although he could not speak his eyes were saying goodbye. There were tears and sniffles and as the days would roll on there would be stories of the ol’ dog’s exploits and the fun that they had with him.

Most importantly, there were memories of the love they all had shared.

4. Shock Treatment 5. Right Here Waiting, by Richard Marx, in 1989. He wrote the song to his wife while she was on location in South Africa. The song climbed the charts around the world, hitting No. 1 in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the U.S.

• Here’s a great (and super simple) tactic for making a cool, delicious treat, from L.O. in New Mexico: “Purchase a six-pack of single-serve yogurt tubs with a paper or foil lid.

Poke a wooden ice-pop stick into each on and put the whole thing in the freezer. The next day you have a pack of yummy yogurt pops, which have nutrition and taste great.”

• Great grapes! This tip will be a hit at your next outdoor barbecue: Serve wine (and punch, too) with frozen grapes as ice cubes. Wash and rinse a bunch of grapes and stick them in the freezer. They make a tasty snack all alone, but will keep a glass of white wine chilled while not watering it down.”

• “To charge your phone a bit quicker, try putting it in airplane mode. It really does help.”

—W.E. in Mississippi • Get all the tomato paste out of the can with this kitchen hack: Open up one side of the can, then run a butter knife around the inside perimeter to separate the paste from the can. Finally, flip it upside down on a plate and open the other side of the can. Remove the can with a bit of a shake, and it should slip out just like cranberry jelly!

• Don't remember how long you've had those eggs? Here's a handy tip to check any egg: Submerge in a glass of water. Fresh eggs lay flat on the bottom. Aging but still good eggs stand up, but remain submerged. If your egg floats, better not chance it.

What’s In The Stars For The Week Of June 5 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A sudden change of plans could lead to a misunderstanding with a friend or family member. Be ready to offer an explanation of your decision. A favor is returned.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Expect pressure from those who want you to change your position. However, the determined Bovine will be able to withstand the bullying.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It's time to stop dwelling on past disappointments and move on to other possibilities. You will soon be meeting new people and making new plans for the future.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A longsimmering situation between co-workers threatens to heat up and could create problems with your work schedule. Consult a supervisor on how to proceed.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might have just learned that someone close to you is keeping a secret. Of course, the Cat's curiosity has gone into overdrive.

Be patient. All is revealed soon enough.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Do not give up. The recognition citing the good work you recently did comes through.

Meanwhile, an opportunity opens up that can lead to a lot of traveling.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A financial crunch eases, but it's still a good idea to keep a tight rein on what you spend for nonessentials. Education becomes a major focus as the week ends.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Recent encounters with stressful situations could require some restorative measures to get your energy levels back. Talk to your doctor about a diet and exercise program.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) New connections follow changes on the job or in your personal life. Keep your feelings reined in until these relationships have a chance to develop.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Pay attention to your aches and pains, but avoid self-diagnoses. Seek professional advice to make sure these problems won't lead to something more serious.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You love doing research and learning new things, so you'll be happy to know that education becomes a big part of your life at this time, and for some time to come.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Your Piscean penchant for doing things logically could be challenged by an equally strong emotional reaction to a new situation. Keep the two factors in balance.

Veteran’s Post Reach Vet e have yet another handy veterans related acronym: Reach Vet. That stands for Recovery Engagement And Coordination For Health—Veterans Enhanced Treatment, and although you can't tell from the title, the goal of the initiative is to reduce the rate of veteran suicides.

While any effort is to be applauded, the numbers just aren't getting much better. Here are the averages for some recent years: 2001—19 per day 2010—21 per day 2012—22 per day 2014—20 per day Yes, the Department of Veterans Affairs has taken steps, but it clearly isn't enough. We have the 24/7 Veterans Crisis Line for immediate help by phone, chat room, and text message (1.800.273.8255, press 1) or online at www.VeteransCrisisLine.net or text 838255. We have analytics to predict who’s at risk so providers can intervene.

We have Tele Mental Health services for remote help. We have a PTSD phone app with self-management tools.

W

It's not enough. It's not enough because you can't fix a problem until you know exactly what it is. Getting correct numbers requires the data input from a great many locations. Each report that comes out assesses the numbers in a different way: by age group, drug and alcohol use, gender, era of service, and comparison to the civilian population. The number that’s hard to deal with is that no matter what, the rate of veteran suicide per day isn’t significantly changing. Then there are those who say the daily veteran suicide rate is closer to 35.

One VA-provided stat offers hope: Those who are under the VA’s care have a lower rate of risk for suicide.

It's a huge decrease. If you're a veteran who's on drugs, who feels isolated, who has extreme mood swings—go to the VA. Get help.

Strange But True The Reader’s Digest

by Samantha Weaver

• It was French novelist—and, more significantly, journalist—Emile Zola who made the following sage observation: “One forges one's style on the terrible anvil of daily deadlines.”

• You might be surprised to learn that, among readers from families with incomes of at least $100,000, The Reader's Digest reaches more people than The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Inc., and Business Week combined.

• Have you ever heard of the ClarkeAsimov Treaty of Park Avenue?

Unless you’re a fan of science fiction, you probably haven’t. Legend has it that two of science fiction’s Big Three, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke (poor Robert A. Heinlein missed out, it seems), were sharing a cab in New York City when they reached an agreement: Each author would publicly refer to the other as the world's greatest in his specialty.

This meant that Asimov touted Clarke as the world’s best science-fiction

writer—reserving second place for himself—while Clarke acknowledged Asimov as the world’s best science writer—also putting himself in second place. Evidence of the agreement is found in Clarke's 1972 novel Report On Planet Three; the dedication reads, “In accordance with the terms of the Clarke-Asimov treaty, the second-best science writer dedicates this book to the second-best science-fiction writer.”

• Those who study such things say that cannabis has been used to ease childbirth pains in a variety of cultures, ranging from the Middle East to Northern Africa to East Asia— and the evidence dates as far back as 2000 B.C. • It was the seventh president of the United States, Andrew Jackson, who first allowed the public to enter the White House. He also made sure the presidential abode was well-provided with spittoons—at least a dozen of them.

Pet Care Protecting Cats

by Sam Mazzotta

Dear Paw's Corner: Before moving out about five months ago we found a good home for our cat, Figaro. I supplied everything the new owner would need, like his litter box and litter, food, etc. A week later, the new owner called and said Fig's eye was weeping. He did suffer from that a year ago, so I bought the same over-the-counter medicine and delivered it to her. Four months later, she called again and accused me of knowing Fig had a pre-existing condition. She demanded I come retrieve him, and that I also take him to the vet. I was shocked. What should I have done?

—Sorry For The Cat Problems Dear Sorry: I believe the new owner just didn't want to take care of a cat.

Instead of taking Fig to the vet to treat his eye problem with a stronger medication, she waited four months and then dumped him back on you.

I'm pretty upset at this, and I know you are, too, because the victim here is Fig. He lost one home already, and now he's losing a second home, and he's sick. He may wind up in a shelter. I'm

not sure how this might play out legally, but we're dealing with a living being here, and Fig's welfare is at stake. So, take the high road and be Fig's hero.

If there is any way you can take him in for a few weeks while you rehome him, please try. Ask the new owner for time while you find someone else to care for him.

Also, find out if the new owner has taken Fig to the vet. If not, and if you have the resources, offer to pay for the visit and medicine.

Send your questions, comments, or tips to ask@pawscorner.com

Senior Service Line New Medicare Cards Coming

by Matilda Charles

ou’ve no doubt noticed that part of your Medicare card number is your Social Security number. That’s finally going to change.

The push to get Social Security numbers off Medicare cards started in 2002 with the Government Accountability Office saying it was seeing a pattern of identity theft from stolen Medicare cards. In 2006, after an audit by the Office of Inspector General for the Social Security Administration, Medicare fought back and claimed it would take up to 13 years and lots of money to get the number off Medicare cards.

The Medicare Identity Theft Prevention Act of 2008 was passed in Congress by the House, but was ignored by the Senate. Finally, in 2015, Congress passed the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act. It’s now a public law. That act gives Medicare until April 2019 to get Social Security numbers off Medicare cards and generate a new beneficiary ID number.

That Social Security number is a gold mine to thieves if you should lose

Y

your wallet. (Or if they break into a medical office and steal files.)

Instead, until the new cards get here, do this: Leave the card at home. Make a photocopy of the card and black out the last four digits of your Social Security number. Only carry the paper copy with you if you have a medical appointment.

Now that the word is out about the new Medicare cards coming, scammers are sure to take advantage of that. If you get a call from anyone saying they need personal info from you so you can get your new card, hang up. Or if someone tries to get you to pay for the new card and they need your bank information, it’s a scam.

If you have questions, call Medicare at 1.800.633.4227.
