More than two million Ohioans are eligible for the Golden Buckeye Card [1], honored at 20,000 businesses statewide. Golden Buckeye cardholders have saved an estimated $2 billion since 1976. All Ohioans age 60 or older, as well as adults age 18-59 who have disabilities as defined by Social Security, are eligible for a free Golden Buckeye Card [1].
Ohio residents who hold current Ohio Driver Licenses or State ID cards automatically receive a Golden Buckeye Card [1] in the month of their 60th birthday. Individuals who do not have a current license or State ID, as well as people under age 60 who are eligible due to disability, or who otherwise do not receive their card automatically, may apply for a card at most public libraries and senior centers. Due to ID, age and disability (when appropriate) verification requirements, you cannot apply for a Golden Buckeye Card [1]online or by phone.
If your Golden Buckeye Card [1]has been lost, stolen or damaged, call 1-866-301-6446 to request a replacement.
The Golden Buckeye Card [1]includes the Ohio's Best Rx prescription drug discount program. Call toll-free 1-866-923-7879 or visit www.ohiobestrx.org [2] for more information.
