There should be a notice to people that even though they got 4 free tests a year ago, they can't get anymore now.

Your crazy!!! The government is offering this service for FREE every household in the United States should have at home tests for their household. As long as I am a tax paying American in the United States the government should be supplying is with the tests one time a year.

I agree Andrew. I read somewhere the beginning of the year (of course I can't find it ) that Biden had raised the # of free tests citizens could get from 4 to 8. I just tried to get the other 4 and it says I reached my limit. I don't remember ordering more. I wish the sight would show the dates we ordered.

You are right I recieved only four tests' I just used my last test and it was positive' I asked for more home test kits and they said I can't get anymore at this time. I'm 72 years old and have COPD. And other health problems.

I mind as well be honest. To offer free Covid tests there has to be a catch to actually be eligible to claim free covid tests as I don't trust the government and there free offer!!!!!!

I currently have 24 boxes of COVID test kits. Is there a way to stop them from arriving? We've only used one test and I am running out of storage space. Plus, it is a shame to keep tests from people who need them when we haven't had to test for sometime. Please advise

Received December tests but they expire (extended expiration date) in mid March 2023, so only good for about 3.5 months from now. Sounds like they are just trying to get rid of old stock.

No, actually, they don't expire. Front page of the news this week. They're not going to go to waste. Just get your tests.

If you had to use the 4 test and have more that need to be tested at your address what is the procedure to get more! Since this only will cover 4 what happens when more is needed!

I keep getting calls about free test kits. I don't want or need any more kits. I just want to opt out of the program.

Who needs 8 covid tests per month? At this point it is like testing for a cold-not the original covid variant. I received 8 tests from a pharmacy because Medicare pays for it. I did not request; nor would I have as it is waste of my taxpayer money. I reported the company to the FTC and Medicare. It is like these companies are sending out test kits so they can bill Medicare to people who never requested them. FRAUD

I received my 2 free boxes of Binax now tests a few months ago and just opened one to use them. The box had no swabs, only cards and liquid so it was useless and I had to use the other box therefore I only had 2 tests, not 4. Thank you
