Happy Earth Day! In celebration, we invite you to join us in making one simple eco-friendly choice — whether it is using a reusable water bottle, choosing to walk or carpool instead of driving alone, or saying no to single-use plastics.

Small actions can add up to a big impact. Let's make a difference together!

Scams are becoming more sophisticated, but there are clear red flags that can help you identify them quickly. Here is what to watch for:

🔵 Sense of urgency - Scammers create pressure by instructing you to act before a deadline or implying something bad will happen if you don't act immediately.

🔵 Impersonation of trusted sources - Fraudsters pose as government officials, tech companies, or other trusted organizations to make their messages seem legitimate.

🔵 Too-good-to-be-true offers - Free money, significant discounts on products not on sale, or prizes requiring upfront fees are classic scam tactics.

🔵 Poor message construction - Look for email addresses with misspelled domains, spelling and grammatical errors in the body of the message, “Under Construction” or “Coming Soon” job link sites, and website error links in email signatures.

The best defense is to pause and verify the source. If you know the sender personally, reach out directly. If it is from an organization, contact them through their official website.

With tax season upon us, we’re sharing an important reminder: The income reported on your tax return could impact how much you pay for Medicare Part B and Part D.

That’s because higher incomes can trigger an income-related monthly adjustment amount (IRMAA) — an added charge on top of your standard premium.

The good news is that IRMAAs have a two-year lag time, giving those potentially impacted time to prepare.
