There are some big changes for those who have Medicare. The Annual Enrollment Period used to be from November 15th to December 31st but it now falls between October 15th and December 7th.
SHINE is a government backed group that is trying to get the word out to seniors. Area Coordinator John Lutz says they call it "the annual free-for-all" at the office. It means "you can change your medicare coverage, you can change your drug plans, you can change pretty much whatever you want as long as you belong to Medicare," he says.
