Re: Social Security Increase Medicare Decrease

I got the e-mail also, it only tells you the percentage the increase will be, but we already know that.  

We don't know for sure what the change will be for the actual cost of Medicare will be.  That information won't be avaialbe on our accounts until December.

This doesnt make sense why are you not getting an increase?

The Medicare premium will be $164.50 and the deductible will be $226. Unless you have a penalty or surcharge.

With the cost of food and energy, I don't see how anyone can think they are getting an increase.

Yes there is a maximum payout of monthly benefits.

I'm pretty sure people like Oprah aren't hurting and depending on Social Security to get them through the month.
