Welcome, New Volunteers
On December 4, 1998, Tiffany Geis trained five new volunteers from the South Central Kearney, NE office. We welcome Addie Schroeder, Raymond Wall, Adalia Brophy, Keta Carlson and Arlene Dillon.NICA is pleased they are aboard. We hope that all of you are calling on your own acquaintances to become active in the NICA Program. We can use volunteers, especially with the information that the Medicare + Choice program is sending.
Please give Addie, Raymond, Adalia, Keta and Arlene a big round of applause.
In the past three months, there was a $169,837 savings to clients by assisting with their eligibility for the Spousal Impoverishment Act. Don't forget the benefits this program can offer our clients.
