The Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled (PAAD) program, the Lifeline program, and the Hearing Aid Assistance to the Aged and Disabled (HAAAD) program are three State programs with similar eligibility guidelines.

You may be eligible for PAAD if you meet the following requirements:

• A New Jersey resident;
• 65 years of age or older or 18 years of age or older and receiving Social Security Title II Disability benefits; and
• Annual income for 2009 of less than $24,432 if single or less than $29,956 if married; and
• Medicare-eligible PAAD beneficiaries are also required to enroll in a Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan. They will NOT have to pay premiums, deductibles, or any out-of-pocket costs beyond the PAAD co-payment of $6 for generic drugs and $7 for brand name drugs as a result of enrolling in specific basic Medicare Part D plans. Medicare Advantage participants must add a prescription benefit to their coverage, and PAAD will contribute up to the regional benchmark amount towards the prescription portion of their total premium.
