Open enrollment for Medicare is October 15, through December 7 The Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) counsels Medicare beneficiaries and caregivers about Medicare, Medicare supplements, Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D, long-term care insurance and the Federal Extra Help low income subsidy program if the senior has limited income and resources. The Extra Help program can increase cost savings by paying for all or part of the monthly premiums, annual deductibles and provide lower prescription co-payments under a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan. The counselors on the toll-free line offer free and unbiased information regarding Medicare health care products. Also help people recognize and prevent Medicare billing errors and possible fraud and abuse through our NC SMP Program. Since the program’s creation in 1986, SHIIP has become a role model for other states and has received two national awards for "innovative" and "exemplary" service.

North Carolina Foreclosure Prevention Fund |
Get Help to Save Your Home - FlyerThe N.C. Foreclosure Prevention Fund helps North Carolina homeowners who are struggling to pay their mortgage due to job loss or other temporary financial hardship that occurred on or after January 1, 2008.
If your goal is to obtain employment that will allow you to keep your home, it can provide temporary assistance to pay your mortgage while you search or train for a new job. The Fund provides assistance at no cost to you.
The Fund offers zero-interest, deferred loans up to $24,000 to cover your mortgage and related expenses for up to 24 months. If you live in one of the 50 counties with the highest unemployment,
you may be eligible for up to $36,000 over 36 months. The loan can also be used to bring your mortgage current.
Am I Eligible?
You may be eligible for help if you:
• are unemployed through no fault of your own or are earning less than you have in the past, or
• are facing a temporary financial hardship, such as a divorce, serious illness, or the death of a co-signor
To be eligible, you must also:
• need assistance with payments for your principal residence, which must be located in North Carolina,
• have satisfactory mortgage payment history prior to your job loss or financial hardship,
• demonstrate an ability to resume your mortgage payment once assistance ends, and
• be a legal resident of the U.S.
How Do I Get Help?
The first step is to make an appointment with a participating, HUD-approved housing counselor, who will let you know what documents you need to gather. The counselor will review your situation with you and help you complete an application.
If your lender has already started foreclosure proceedings and you meet preliminary qualifications, the N.C. Housing Finance Agency may issue a temporary stay-of-foreclosure while your
application is under review.
If you qualify for the loan, the N.C. Housing Finance Agency will make your mortgage payment directly to your loan
provider or bank. At the end of the assistance period, you will resume making your own mortgage payment.
You will pay no interest on your loan, and if you remain in your home for 10 years, your loan will be considered satisfied and
you will owe nothing. Your counselor can provide details.
