The program, for those who lost health insurance and been unemployed since Jan. 1, will be open for enrollment through Dec. 31. For those eligible, Pfizer medications will be free for up to one year.
''We all know people who have been laid off recently and have lost their health insurance, making it difficult for them to pay for healthcare,'' said Jorge Puente, Pfizer's regional president of Worldwide Pharmaceuticals. ``We thought there must be some way we could help.''

More Food Assistance Benefits
Your SNAP Benefits Are Going Up!
website http://www.fns.usda.gov/fsp/Default.htm
Why are my benefits going up?
• There is a new law called the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009. You might have heard it called the
stimulus package.
• Because of the law, you get more Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. SNAP is the new name
for the Food Stamp Program. SNAP may have a different name
where you live.
How can I use the extra benefits?
• Use your extra benefits to buy food at your grocery store.
• In some places, SNAP also offers nutrition education to help you
and your family learn to choose healthy food on a budget and be
more active.
How do I get the extra benefits?
• You get the extra benefits starting April 2009.
• The extra benefits will be added automatically to your EBT card.
You do not have to do anything.
How much extra do I get?
• Some households with 1 or 2 people who get the minimum benefit
of $14 a month may get $16 a month starting in April. Others may
get more.
• Look at the table below to see how much more you may get each
month.
• For example: If there are 3 people in your household and right now
you get $250 each month. In April, you will get $313 each month.
($250 + $63 = $313)
