I started receiving social security this month August. I have already been on Medicare and paid my part B premium quarterly. When I got my Ssa payment, my part b premium was not deducted as expected. What do I need to do to get it automatically deducted, or will it just start to deduct when the amounts I have already paid are used up? I don’t want to be delinquent in making a payment, but don’t want to pay any further premiums if the are going to start automatically at some point. Is there something I need to do?

my x husband and i were married for 18 years. He was approved for SSDI when he was 45 years old. He passed away at 51 years of age. We divorced in 2018, I have been on SS and medicaid I for about five years now. I am applying for survivors social security based on his record, but what I dont know is will i have to serve the two year waiting period for Medicare or since I am already on SSI and been determined disabled for over two years will I receive Medicare right away?

I'm receiving widow benefits. I am only 60 yrs old and social security said I can receive Medicare. How is that possible, if you have to be 65 years of age...thank you

I asked SS to discontinue my retirement benefits after receiving them for 5 months. The SS office accidently cancelled my Medicare and as a result my United Healthcare Supplemental. How do I get the error reinstated from United Healthcare. I've paid my premiums although cancelled. The SS office admits the error was theirs and that I filled out the paperwork correctly and that this was their error.

Please Help.

My adult disabled son receives ss and Medicare. Since our son lives with us and I take care of him am I eligible for Medicare even though I am 58??

Hi. No, unless you are either receiving some type of disability benefit from Social Security, or if you've been diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Otherwise, you must be at least age 65 to be eligible for Medicare.

I am a 67 years older and still working. Can I file for social security without triggering the enrollment of Medicare?

How can I fight IRMAA. I retired August 2021. I began taking Survivor's Benefit September 2021. My husband passed away April 2018. Prior to retiring my annual income was $28,000.00 per year. After my husband passed I was forced to sell a piece of property we had inherited. I needed the income, since my husbands income while he was alive was $120,000. We’ll SS pulled my income from 2020 and they included my capital gains as income, thus the IRMAA judgement. So, they are deducting an additional $265.00 per month for a year due to those earnings.

I would like to change my payment from quarterly to monthly. How can I do it?

Hi. I assume that you're referring to paying your part B Medicare premiums. If so, there is no way that you could opt to pay those premiums monthly instead of quarterly. If and when you start drawing Social Security benefits, though, your part B premiums will be deducted from your Social Security payments on a monthly basis.

In October 2021, I paid my Medicare premium 3 months in advance for November 2021, December 2021 and January 2022. I signed up for Social Security in November 2021 so I could start receiving benefits in January 2022. I received my first Social Security check in February and they deducted my Medicare premium from the check. I already sent a letter to: Medicare Contact Center Operations at PO Box 1270, Lawrence, KS 66044 on April 18, 2022 and haven’t received a response or a refund.
