SeniorCare: Renewing Your Benefits
SeniorCare is a program for Wisconsin residents who are 65 or older and need help paying for medicine. The program helps seniors pay for prescription drugs. Your benefits are approved for a 12-month period. You must fill out a renewal application if you want to renew your benefits.

We’ll send you a preprinted renewal application and instructions in the mail about six weeks before your current benefits end. The renewal application will be preprinted with the information that SeniorCare has on file for you. You need to review it to make sure it’s correct. If anything has changed or is incorrect, fill out the “change” section to report it.
You’ll also get instructions and an income calculation worksheet with the renewal application to help you. You should keep the instructions and worksheet for your records.
