It is no secret that much of the United States has a problem with healthy eating and that is why schemes such as the Medicare Grocery Allowance Benefit exist. The Grocery Plus Benefit allows recipients to buy a variety of healthy foods at grocery stores that are taking part in the programme. This quarterly allowance, which is combined with your over-the-counter (OTC) allowance, helps you stretch your food budget and buy high-quality, healthy foods. If you qualify for the Grocery Plus benefit, you'll get a Healthy Benefits+ card you can use for all qualifying purchases. Qualifying members can use their quarterly allowance on groceries, OTC, or some of each.

What foods come under Grocery Plus?

There are a huge number of foods that are covered by the Grocery Plus programme and they include fresh fruits and vegetables, salad kits, dairy products, meats and seafood, beans and legumes, grains such as oats, cereals, rice and pasta, frozen produce and meals, nutritional shakes and bars, water and vitamin water, and more. You must log into your Healthy Benefits+ account to see what products are eligible whilst you are in the shops. There are items that are not covered though which is why it's important to keep checking as you go along to avoid any nasty surprises at the tills.

No candy or alcohol

The money cannot be used on non-food items, pet items, baby formula, candy, chips, desserts, fresh baked goods, soda, tobacco, alcohol and coffee shop items. After you qualify for the Grocery Plus benefit, you will be able to use your quarterly allowance on both OTC and groceries. You'll receive your allowance on the first day of each quarter. Your allowance is automatically added to your Healthy Benefits+ card on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1. If you don't spend the full balance every quarter, the balance will not carry over into the next quarter and you'll lose any remaining amount that's left on your card as the next quarter's allowance is added.

aarp.org - The Maximum Social Security Benefit Explained - AARP

The most an individual who files a claim for Social Security retirement benefits in 2023 can receive per month is:

$2,364 for someone who files at 62.

$3,345 for someone who files at full retirement age (66 and 4 months for people born in 1956, 66 and 6 months for people born in 1957).

$4,194 for someone who files at age 70.

(For context, the average Social Security retirement benefit in 2023 is estimated at $1,827 a month. The average disability benefit is $1,483.) Who is eligible for the maximum benefit? People whose earnings equaled or exceeded Social Security’s maximum taxable income — the amount of your earnings on which you pay Social Security taxes — for at least 35 years of their working lives. The maximum taxable income in 2023 is $160,200. The figure is adjusted annually based on changes in national wage levels, and thus the maximum benefit changes each year.

Keep in mind

The maximum benefit is not to be confused with the maximum family benefit. That’s the most a family can collectively receive from Social Security (including retirement, spousal, children’s, disability or survivor benefits) on one family member’s earnings record.
