This has to be a Social Security Administration press release, but it does not show up on Social Security's webpage that is supposed to list press releases.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Social Security Administration and Medicare are using this Father's Day to spread the word about its prescription drug plan for low income seniors.

Social Security Commissioner Michael Astrue (AS'-troo) is encouraging anyone who knows a senior or someone who is eligible for Social Security and fits the income levels to apply. Astrue says they've made the application as simple as possible.

You can't make more than $15,000 to qualify as an individual for the plan or 20,000 as a married couple living together. There are asset limitations as well.

Astrue says if your dad is a Donald Trump or Bill Gates -- don't call, but if they are close to the income levels, check it out.

An application is available on the Social Security website.
