Starting October 15, Medicare Advantage renewal period begins. During this time, you can compare your current plan with the plans announced by Sharo and, if necessary, switch to a better plan.

We spoke to John Kim Insurance, which has been handling Medicare insurance in Northern California for the past 20 years, about the major changes this year. There will be significant changes in 2025, both in the Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) and in the prescription drug sector.

The scope of D-SNP (Medicare and Medi-Cal) benefits will be expanded, with a significantly increased monthly income limit of $1,752 for singles and $2,372 for couples, and no asset limit. Therefore, it will be a good opportunity for those who are burdened with Medicare Part B premiums.

The coverage gap, known as the donut hole, will be eliminated by setting a $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket expenses for beneficiaries, even if they are not Medi-Cal beneficiaries. In other words, once a beneficiary’s out-of-pocket expenses reach $2,000, the initial coverage phase will be over, and the beneficiary will reach a catastrophic level where they will not pay anything.

Currently, if you sign up for additional insurance such as Part C, there is no deductible or the initial coverage amount, which is equivalent to 25%, is significantly reduced. For example, there is no or very low copayment for Tier 1 and Tier 2 prescription drugs. Also, starting in 2025, Part D insurers must offer all enrolees the option to pay their share of the cost (including deductible, copayment, and copayment) in monthly instalments over the plan year, rather than paying the full amount at the time of service (e.g., at the pharmacy).

This program is available to all enrolees, but it may be more beneficial for those who have a high out-of-pocket cost early in the plan year. Since Medicare insurance, including Medicare Advantage Insurance, offers a variety of options depending on each enrolee’s situation, it is important to discuss it directly with your agent, said John Kim.

Mayor Adams of New York City and other Korean American mainstream society leaders gathered to promote the excellence of Korean culture to mainstream American society and once again show off the power and status of Korean Americans.

The ’40th Korean Parade’, which was suspended for four years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and held again after five years, was held splendidly on the 5th, filling the section from 38th to 27th Streets on America Avenue (6th Avenue) in Manhattan with the largest wave of Koreans ever in the clear autumn weather.

Hosted by the New York Korean Association and organized by the New York Hankook Ilbo, the parade, which started at noon that day, featured 18 colourful floats reminiscent of autumn foliage and the spirited music of a percussion band, while around 200 participating teams from various sectors of the Korean community, including local Korean associations, economic organizations, cultural and artistic organizations, veterans’ groups, sports organizations, and Korean schools, created a spectacular show for about two hours.

In particular, the participation of many leaders in mainstream Korean-American society, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams as the grand marshal, Federal Representatives Grace Meng and Tom Suozzi, New York State Representatives Ron Kim, Grace Lee, and Edward Brunstein, New York City Council Members Linda Lee, Julie Warn, and Keith Powers, Manhattan Borough President Mark Levin, Palisades Park City Council Member Jason Kim, and Fort Lee City Council Member Peter Suh, fully demonstrated the elevated status of the Korean community.

On this day particularly, the Korean Parade featured a flower float submitted by the Seoul Economic Promotion Agency under the Seoul Metropolitan Government, as well as invited Korean traditional culture and art performance teams, which performed the quintessence of traditional culture such as Jindo Bukchum, Hallyangmu, Buchaechum, Jangguchum, and 12-step Sangmodolligi, receiving praise from New Yorkers lining the street. In addition, dance performances, K-pop performances, Korean traditional dance, children’s choir performances, and taekwondo demonstrations were held throughout the parade, livening up the audience.

On this day, tens of thousands of New Yorkers, including Koreans, whites, Hispanics, Asians, and blacks, flocked to the Avenue of the Americas to cheer, showing that the Korean Parade has firmly established itself as a festival symbolizing New York, encompassing all multi-ethnic communities beyond the Korean community.

The first public opinion poll conducted a little over a year before the Virginia gubernatorial election predicts a close race, with the Democratic and Republican candidates tied 39 to 39. According to a survey of 1,000 Virginia adults conducted by the University of Mary Washington (UMW) Center for Leadership and Media Studies from the 3rd to the 9th, Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, who is running for governor, was tied at 39%, followed by Democratic Representative Abigail Spanberger at 39%. The remaining 22% said they had not yet decided on a candidate to support.

Democratic candidate Spanberger has represented Virginia’s 7th District in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2019 but has given up on seeking re-election this year to focus on the gubernatorial election next year.

On the Republican side, Virginia’s first black female lieutenant governor, Earl-Sears, was the first to register as a candidate and begin her campaign earlier this month, but Attorney General Jason Miyares is also being mentioned as another candidate. Therefore, this poll also looked at it as a two-way race between Democrat Spanberger and Republican Miyares, and the Democrats are narrowly ahead, 40 to 39. Minister Miyares has not yet announced her intention to run, and Gov.

Glenn Youngkin cannot run again due to term limits in Virginia. Meanwhile, many Virginians responded that Democratic President Joe Biden’s state administration is going in the wrong direction, with 37% approving and 53% disapproving, but they gave Gov. Youngkin a better evaluation than the federal government, with 46% approving and 34% disapproving.

The UMW poll predicted, “The Virginia election, which will be held following the presidential election, will be influenced by the presidential election results, but regardless, it is expected to be a very interesting election.” “Since it was a close race that was often mentioned as a swing state, the gubernatorial election next year will also be a hot topic with the emergence of potential candidates who have not yet been revealed.”

A boy who was kidnapped from a park in California when he was six has been reunited with his family after 70 years, The Guardian reported on the 22nd. According to the article, Luis Armando Albino was reunited with his family in Oakland for the first time in 70 years in June with the help of an online ancestor search, police, and the FBI.

Albino, who was born in Puerto Rico, was separated from his family on February 21, 1951, when he was in a park in West Oakland with his older brother Roger Albino when he was tricked by a Spanish-speaking woman who promised to buy him candy.

After being kidnapped, Albino lived as the son of a couple living in the eastern region, served in the Marines during the Vietnam War, and worked as a firefighter after his discharge. The search for Albino began in 2020 when his niece, Alida Alequin (63), took an online DNA test for fun. Alequin found out that there was a man whose test results matched 22% of his, and began investigating, thinking that he could be his kidnapped uncle, but at the time, there were no significant results. However, early this year, he reported this to the Oakland Police Department after finding an old newspaper article with Albino’s photo at the Oakland Public Library. The police later re-investigated Albino’s disappearance and confirmed that Albino was the missing boy through DNA tests on Albino and his younger sister, Alequin’s mother. On June 24, Albino visited Oakland with the assistance of the FBI and was reunited with his younger sister, Alequin’s mother, and his older brother, Roger Albino.

Roger Albino, who had been investigated by the police several times since his brother went missing, died last month, two months after finding his brother. Alequin, who played a crucial role in finding his maternal uncle, said that his maternal grandmother never gave up hope that her son was alive until he passed away in 2005, and that even though he had been missing for over 70 years, Albino was always in the hearts of his family.

The White House on the 17th denied former President Donald Trump’s remarks that the assassination attempt on him was due to the rhetoric of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, saying, “I have never incited violence in any way.”

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said this during a briefing that day, saying, “President Biden and Vice President Harris have always strongly condemned violence in all its forms.” Regarding the assassination attempt on him that took place at his golf course on the 15th, former President Trump said in an interview with Fox News the day before, “He believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris,” and “he acted on that belief.”

Former President Trump’s running mate, Senator JD Vance, also criticized the Democratic camp’s designation of former President Trump as a “threat to democracy” in a speech he gave in Atlanta, Georgia the previous day. Vance also mentioned that no one tried to kill Democratic presidential candidate Harris. When asked about Vance’s statement that day, Spokesperson Jean-Pierre criticized, “That kind of rhetoric is dangerous.” He added, “People respect certain national leaders,” and “When you are the leader of a country, people listen to what you say.”

Meanwhile, the White House announced that Vice President Harris also spoke with former President Trump that afternoon, following President Biden. The White House reported that in a “brief and polite” call, Vice President Harris said she was glad that former President Trump was safe.

The final sentence has been handed down for the driver of the car that killed two high school girls in front of Oakton High School in Virginia in June 2022. The driver of the car that killed two high school girls was found guilty in April and was sentenced to four years in prison at the sentencing trial held on the 6th. The driver of the car that was hit was Usman Shahid, who was 18 years old at the time, and was driving 81 miles per hour in a 35-mph zone when he struck the sidewalk.

This killed 15-year-old Leeyan Hanjia Yan and 14-year-old Ada Gabriela Martinez Nolasco, both students at Oakton High School, and injured another student. The jury recommended a sentence of four years, and the judge could have sentenced him to a maximum of four years or a reduced sentence, but he followed the recommendation and sentenced him to four years. He was also ordered to serve three years of supervised release.

The victim’s family said, “We respect the court’s decision, but we don’t know if four years is enough,” adding, “We’ve been living a life of hell every day since the accident.” Ahn Yang’s mother said, “I allowed my friends to go to the nearby IHOP to celebrate the end of the semester on the day of the accident… I even moved closer to the school so that I could walk to school… Every night when I go to bed, tears run down my face,” expressing irreversible regret and pain.

Meanwhile, the defence attorney emphasized that he was a minor with no criminal record and argued, “He wanted to show off his new car like any other 18-year-old boy,” but added, “He has been punished and continues to be punished and will have to live with it for the rest of his life.”

The final sentence was handed down two years after the accident, but the victim’s family said they plan to file another lawsuit.

While the details have not been disclosed yet, the family said, “There is no way to avoid it. There is no place to go, no place to hide, no one to talk to, and no medicine to take,” adding, “This is why we live in hell.”

Police are investigating a series of “smash and grab” incidents overnight in the Washington area, including Fairfax and Montgomery counties, in which thieves broke into businesses’ windows and made off with items in a matter of seconds.

According to police, at least 10 businesses were damaged beginning around 1 a.m. on the 27th in northwest Washington, D.C., Montgomery County, Maryland, and Fairfax County, Virginia. In Fairfax County, a nail salon and waxing business were robbed at Tysons Shopping Centre around 5 a.m. The suspects were seen arriving in a black BMW with no license plates.

In Montgomery County, a Japanese restaurant, nail salon, waxing shop, gas station, deli, and pharmacy located in the Echo Glen Shopping Centre in Bethesda suffered considerable damage, including broken windows and theft of cash. In Washington, D.C., another waxing shop, Thai restaurant, and nail salon located on Connecticut Avenue Northwest were robbed by two thieves.

CCTV obtained by the police shows that there were two or three thieves involved, but it is not yet confirmed whether all the crimes were committed by the same thieves. Prior to this incident, on June 25, a mixed group of six men and women entered the Chanel store, a luxury goods store in Tysons Galleria department store, wearing masks, sprayed fire extinguisher on the security guard, and then quickly stole the store’s merchandise and ran away.

Construction of Virginia Tech’s Potomac Yards Campus in Northern Virginia is nearing completion, and it is expected to begin full-scale operation, including accepting new students, as early as next year.

According to local media outlet ‘alxnow,’ the first building of Virginia Tech’s Innovation Campus located in Potomac Yards is almost complete, and classes will begin for students starting in January next year.

The building, dubbed ‘Innovation Campus Academic Building One,’ is an 11-story, 300,000-square-foot building on a 3.5-acre campus site, with two additional 150,000-square-foot campus buildings to be built in the future. The building will house classes, research, laboratories, offices, and support spaces for graduate programs in computer science and computer engineering.

“The Potomac Yards campus will be a steppingstone for growth in the Washington area tech ecosystem,” school officials said. “It’s very important because it’s close to relevant companies and the federal government, and it’s a great opportunity for the school to grow.” Meanwhile, the school is located near the Potomac Yards-VT Metrorail station, Reagan National Airport, and Amazon’s North American headquarters.
