8. Mrs. Roberts has just received a new Medicare identity card in the mail. She is concerned
that it is a forgery since it does not have her Social Security number on it. What should you tell her?

electronic identity system developed by the Social Security Administration. Incorrect
b. The card she received is valid but she should keep her old card for at least two years and present
it whenever she receives health care. Incorrect
c. The card she received is valid, the change has been made to protect Medicare beneficiaries
from identity theft, and she should now destroy her old card. Correct

Social Security number and date of birth imprinted on them. Incorrect
