One More Chance to Sign Up Act of 2006

The One More Chance to Sign Up Act of 2006 proposed a temporary extension for Medicare beneficiaries to enroll in prescription drug coverage (Part D) and Medicare Advantage plans. Specifically, it would have created a two-month grace period from June 15 through August 15, 2006, allowing seniors to sign up for these benefits without facing the standard financial penalties for late enrollment. The bill was intended to provide additional time for citizens to navigate the then-new prescription drug program and secure coverage for the remainder of the year without incurring long-term increases in their monthly premiums.
