SWAIN COUNTY CENTER CLOSURE

We continue to work with county and state health officials, as well as NC State and N.C. A&T State Universities, to monitor the evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. 

To help prevent the spread of the virus, Swain County Extension will remain CLOSED. ALL in-person Extension activities for the next 60 days (until May 26) are canceled or postponed unless they can be done online. This includes ALL 4-H Club Programs.

Do You Need Help Paying for Your Medicare Prescription Medications?

If you answered yes to this question and have limited income and resources, you may qualify for ‘EXTRA HELP’ (the low-income subsidy) to pay your prescription drug costs. Receiving this help will not change your monthly Social Security benefits. (This program is not available to Medicaid recipients).

INCOME GUIDELINES are $1,471.25 per month for an individual and $1,991.25 per month for a couple living together.

Call 488-3848 for an appointment.

This is a FREE community service, and we do not sell insurance.
