In speaking with a Medicare Counselor of the Bergen County Division of Senior Services, I have been advised that according to the Medicare website, the cards have not yet been mailed and there was no indication of when they would be. The counselor stated that to not be concerned, as it will take until April 2019 for ALL the cards to be mailed. Golden Wisdom The most wasted of all days is that on which one has not laughed.
