Fake USPS® Emails
USPS® and the Postal Inspection Service are aware of the circulation of a fake email/email scam claiming to be from USPS officials including the Postmaster General. Please know USPS officials would never reach out directly to consumers and ask for money or Personal Identifying Information (PII). Please read the information below to protect yourself from email scams and other kinds of consumer fraud. Click HERE to see an image of the fake email.
If you ever receive an email about a package delivery or unpaid online postage charges, be careful. Some postal customers are receiving bogus emails featuring the subject line, “Delivery Failure Notification.” These emails appear to be from the U.S. Postal Service® and include language regarding an unsuccessful attempt to deliver a package. The email will prompt you to confirm your personal delivery information by clicking a button or downloading an attachment, that, when opened, can activate a virus and steal information—such as your usernames, passwords, and financial account information. The Postal Inspection Service is working hard to stop these emails and protect your information.
Did you receive an email from the Postal Service about an attempted or intercepted package delivery? DON'T CLICK ON THE LINK! Check out the video for more info on what to do.

Medicare Appeals
If you disagree with a decision made by
Medicare, you have the right to appeal.
All steps in the appeal process have specific time frames and other
requirements. It is very important to pay
attention to the time limits for appeals!
Some appealable situations are:
·
Medicare
denies your request for a health care service, supply, or prescription
·
Medicare
denies payment for health care that you
have already received
·
Medicare
stops covering services that you are receiving
·
Medicare
pays a different amount than you believe it should
For assistance with appeals, the Medicare
Advocacy Project (MAP) provides free advice and legal representation. MAP can assist anyone with Original Medicare
