I came here looking for information on medicare premiums. Perhaps you can help me out.
Of course. The law requires an adjustment to your monthly Medicare Part B medical insurance and Medicare prescription drug coverage premiums. This affects less than five percent of people with Medicare. Most people don't pay higher premiums.
================
Well, that's interesting. What can you tell me about monthly medicare premiums in 2020?
The standard Part B premium for 2020 is $ 144.60.
Are you single and filed an individual tax return, or married and filed a joint tax return?
No, to both. I didn't file a tax return yet.
================
What if I earn a lot less money now and fulfill the requirements for a new decision?
In that case we need to see documentation verifying the event and the reduction in your income. The documentation you provide should relate to the event and may include a death certificate, a letter from your employer about your retirement, or something similar.

How can I find more information about what Medicare covers?
Simply visit the Medicare website, or call 1-800-MEDICARE 1-800-633-4227;  TTY 1-877-486-2048. Your State Health Insurance Counseling and Assistance Program SHIP also can help answer your Medicare questions.
================
I'll visit the website, alright. Is there anything I should know if you are still using my 2017 tax year data?
If you filed a return for tax year 2018 or did not need to file a tax return for tax year 2018, call us or visit any local Social Security office. We'll update our records.
