Medicare Open Enrollment: Are You Ready? Have Questions?
2017-10-05 10:00 - 11:30 (America/New_York) | AMAC, Inc Offices, 2130 Talley Road, Building 1 Suite 100, Leesburg, FL, 34748, United States
It’s no surprise to most of us of a certain age…Medicare Open Enrollment is racing toward us! If you’re new to Medicare, or if you’re already a beneficiary with questions, now’s the time to get the help you need. The AMAC Foundation has prepared an informative one-hour overview of the key points everyone needs to know for the 2018 enrollment cycle, as well as the fundamentals surrounding this essential senior benefit program.
The Foundation will present this overview in a live seminar next Thursday, October 5 at the AMAC office in Leesburg. We’ll cover the world of Medicare, including:
How Medicare works
The time frames applicable to new sign-ups and changes to your coverage
The range of options you need to consider
And many other topics!
The overview will be presented by a seasoned professional with extensive depth in the insurance industry. No products will be marketed during the discussion…it is simply a service to make new and existing beneficiaries comfortable with the many facets of Medicare.
The October 5 seminar will be held at 10:00 am and, for those unable to attend the morning session, we will be hosting a repeat session at 5:30 pm the same day. Also, the seminar will be carried live on the internet, and will be available for viewing at www.AmacFoundation.org/Live. We will also record the session for review afterward, and it will be available at this same internet address.

Sudden Death – Are You Prepared?
2017-09-20 10:00 | Lady Lake Library Room 207, 225 W Guava Street, Lady Lake, FL, 32159, United States
(NOTE: This three-part workshop, originally set to begin 9/13/2017, has been rescheduled to begin Wednesday, 9/20/2017…same time, same place!)
Sudden Death: Are You Prepared?
Attention: This event is comprised of three two-hour sessions.
Here are the dates of all three sessions: Wednesdays – September 20, September 27, and Thursday October 5 – 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
If you passed away tomorrow, will your loved ones know what to do? Will they know where your financial information and tax records, insurance records, and investment documents are stored? Will they be able to locate your most current will, health care directives, and documented funeral wishes? Can they locate important household documents, like deeds, car titles, and pension statements?
The list goes on and on, but the important point is that having this type of pertinent information organized and available in a structured place is something you can do in advance for those you leave behind. It’s a big task and it’s not an easy one…we know that. But with a structured approach you can create a living document that will prove invaluable to your loved ones.
This seminar has been structured to guide you through the process of creating your “Survivor Notebook,” the repository that will help your loved ones cope after your passing. Conducted in three separate two-hour sessions, we’ll walk you through identifying what needs to be considered, assembling the material as we go in an accessible format, and we’ll be developing an approach to maintaining the material so that it’s always current. You’ll leave with a physical roadmap that will be of immeasurable value to your family.
There is no cost for this workshop series, and light refreshments will be served at each session. Notebook materials will be provided

Life After Cable...Entertainment Alternatives!
2017-08-09 10:00 - 12:00 | Lady Lake Library Room 207, 225 W Guava Street, Lady Lake, FL, 32159, United States
To Access This Event Live, Click AmacFoundation.org/Live
Cord-cutting–the act of severing the traditional link to cable television–has grown substantially in recent years as two factors collide: the availability of a host of new options on the home entertainment market, and growing dissatisfaction with cable companies’ price/reliability/service model. On this first factor, the past few years have brought services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Sling TV, Huku, Roku, and others into the mainstream vocabulary, while on the second factor, many households have begun to take exception to what is perceived as a continual ramp up of pricing from the cable companies and somewhat of a deterioration in reliability and service levels.
For many households, price has been the driver to consider dropping their cable service in favor of a newer, cheaper option. Yes, the cable companies gleefully advertise that their contract gives you hundreds and hundreds of channels, and it breaks down to perhaps pennies for each of them. But realistically, how many different channels do you really want? Most people typical have only a handful of favorites, maybe a half dozen or so, while the “hundreds and hundreds” available on cable are rarely–if ever–accessed. Here’s where the pay-as-you-go options of the rapidly emerging streaming market emerge as attractive alternatives.
OK, but how do I get there? What do I need to have to get there? And when I get there, what have I given up? These and many other relevant questions will be answered in this informative two-hour session presented by the Foundation. Experts from Best Buy’s “Geek Squad” training staff will explain the marketplace, covering the equipment and contract details you’ll need to consider in order to take the leap.
Here are the details:
Date: Wednesday, August 9. 2017
Time: 10:00 am to Noon
Place: Lady Lake Library, 225 West Guava Street, Lady Lake, FL 32159
There is no cost for this workshop, and light refreshments will be served.
To register: Contact the AMAC Foundation, 888-750-2622 or email: info@amacfoundation.org

Deadline for reservation is Wednesday, August 2, 2017.

The general intent is to ensure that attendees leave with an understanding of the basics of Medicare and its major components.

Understanding Veterans Aid & Attendance Benefits
2017-06-20 10:00 - 11:30 | Lady Lake Library Room 207, 225 W Guava Street, Lady Lake, FL, 32159, United States
This workshop will explore a little-known benefit available to U.S. Armed Forces veterans who were on active duty during a period of war. It’s titled “Pension With Aid and Attendance”, and it could be a life-changer for many men and women who require home care or care in a health care facility and require the assistance of another person (for bathing, dressing, medication monitoring and other activities of daily living).
The Pension With Aid and Attendance benefit is available to veterans and their spouse, and also to surviving spouses and to spouses of a healthy veteran in need of care. Veterans having the wartime service credits only need to demonstrate that caregiver assistance, or a living facility more suitable to their physical limitations is required, and that they have a financial need.
Kim Lanning, representing Caring Avenues, will provide education on this important benefit and will help attendees understand how to take advantage of the benefit to improve their lives.
The session will begin at 10:00 am and is scheduled to conclude by 11:30 am, although Ms. Lanning and Foundation staff representatives will be on-hand afterward to respond to questions and provide any further assistance anyone might need.
Deadline for registration is Friday, June 16, 2017. Light refreshments will be provided before and during the session.
Join us and learn!
