Call for Social Work Volunteers FACHIC is in search of volunteers with social work or casework backgrounds as well as social work students to help staff regular social work clinics in the Filipino community. While the majority of our organization has a Filipino background, we are looking for volunteers with a general interest in working with a moderately sized community within an urban and suburban environment encountering issues such as access to housing, medical care, entitlements, counseling, and family support. All volunteers will be coordinated and supervised by a licensed clinical social worker. Please do not hesitate to contact us or pass along our information to any contacts who may be interested and we would be happy to answer any questions that you or they may have. The FACHIC social worker, Sam del Rosario, LCSW, can be reached by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or by phone at 312.962.7748. |
May 2012 Illinois Senior Medicare Patrol Program
Many people in Illinois have been receiving phone calls from someone offering “free home services from Medicare.” These phone calls are a scam. Medicare will never call you to offer “free services.” These callers are trying to get people’s Medicare numbers over the phone, so that they can bill Medicare for thousands of dollars in skilled home care services that they do not provide. If anyone calls on the phone and asks for your Medicare number, hang up the phone! Do not accept any services from anyone who calls on the phone or comes to your door. If you need health care services, call your doctor first to get a prescription. Your doctor can then help you find a legitimate company to provide the services. If you have given your Medicare number away to someone who called on the phone or came to your door, report it to the Illinois Senior Medicare Patrol Program at AgeOptions: (800)699-9043.
Mayo 2012 Ang Programang Illinois Senior Medicare Patrol
Maraming tao sa Illinois ang tumatanggap ng tawag sa telepono na may handog na "libreng pangtahanang serbisyo mula sa Medicare". Ang mga tawag na ito ay panloloko. Hindi ka tatawagan ng Medicare para maghandog ng "libreng serbisyo". Ang mga tumatawag na ito ay nanghahagilap lang ng mga numero ng Medicare sa telepono, upang makapag-singil sila sa Medicare ng libu-libong dolyares ng kabayaran para sa dalubhasang serbisyong pangangalaga sa tahanan na hindi naman nila ginawa. Kung mayroong tumawag sa iyo sa telepono at hinihingi ang iyong numero sa Medicare, ibaba kaagad ang telepono! Huwag tumanggap ng serbisyo sa sinumang tatawag sa telepono o kakatok sa pinto. Kung kailangan mo ng serbisyo sa pangangalaga ng kalusugan, tawagan muna ang iyong duktor para makakuha ng riseta. Ang iyong duktor ay tutulong sa'yo na makakuha ng lehitimong kumpanya na magsasagawa ng mga serbisyo. Kung naibigay mo na ang iyong numero ng Medicare sa isang tao na tumawag sa telepono o kumatok sa'yong pinto, ipaalam sa Illinois Senior Medicare Patrol Program sa AgeOptions: (800)699-9043.
