South Brunswick To Host Money Saving Seminar For Seniors

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ - The South Brunswick Senior Center will be hosting a seminar on money-saving strategies for older residents on July 21, 11 a.m. The seminar is being hosted by NJ Department of Human Services (DHS), the South Brunswick Township Senior Center, and Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker (NJ 16).

A representative from the Division of Aging Services will describe the NJSave initiative - an online application to help older residents with low incomes and individuals with disabilities save money on Medicare premiums, prescription costs, and other living expenses.

"Governor Murphy and our administration are committed to supporting older adults through tools like NJSave and through new budget investments that provide additional tax relief for older adults, increase prescription assistance and hearing aid reimbursements, and launch a new age-friendly NJ initiative to help support communities across our state become accessible and inclusive places to live at any age,” Human Services Acting Commissioner Sarah Adelman said in a statement.

Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker said navigating New Jersey benefits programs can be a daunting task for seniors. “Now with NJSave, older New Jerseyans can determine with just one click all the programs and services available to them. I am very happy that NJDHS, South Brunswick Senior Center and my office are able to work together to spread the word about this essential program,” he said.

The program is open to the public and is scheduled for Wednesday, July 21, 11 a.m., at the South Brunswick Senior Center, 540 Ridge Road, Monmouth Junction.

The event will take place indoors and masks are required. For more information, contact AsmZwicker@njleg.org; 732-823-1684.
