I have gathered up all these for a friend of mine on disability.

I thought I would share what I found with all of you. In hopes you will pass on the information, also.
Not sure if this is the right forum to post this.
These #'s and links are for all ages. Not just people on SSI.
============================

Millions of low-income seniors "and people with disabilities"
don't qualify for prescription drug coverage under Medicare
but can't afford the medicines they need. To help, Eli Lilly
and Co. has launched a new patient assistance program called
LillyAnswers. The LillyAnswers card allows eligible partici-
pants to pay a flat fee of $12 for a 30-day supply of any
Lilly retail drug. Potential annual savings is $600 per med-
ication under Lilly's $12 fee. More than five million
Americans are eligible for the program. Enrollment is free
and began for eligible seniors on Tuesday, with participat-
ing pharmacies accepting the card beginning on April 1.
Enrollment applications are available by calling toll-free
1-877-RX-LILLY. For more information, visit

Free Medication and 'script assitance
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are some pharmaceutical companies that offer free medications to low-income families. They require a doctor's consent and proof of your financial status. Depending on what your insurance covers, you may be able to apply. A few companies even allow family incomes as high as $40,000 annually (offset by expenses, of course). Here is a list of psychotropic medications with corresponding companies that feature patient-assistance programs and their contact numbers.

Note: Some of these companies may prefer to speak directly with your doctor.
