Don't receive it, good luck to those that deserve and receive it.
Thank you U. S. Govt. :bowdown:
The government giveth and the government taketh away.
Not sure why, but I don't see posts like this on the dirt bike sites. LOL
the SS increase and the Medicare increase are usually pretty close to a wash.
" I guess it's also time to remind not to break forum rule #2. No political posts."
No, no ,no politics. Unless dirt bikes vs. Spyder is considered politics.
Big deal, they also put a $231 IRMAA surcharge on my Medicare, so I lose money anyway.
You can't be given anything that wasn't taken from you to begin with.
This is what I found:
What is the Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (or IRMAA)?
If you are a person who has higher annual earnings, the Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (or IRMAA) is an additional amount that you pay for your monthly Medicare Part D prescription drug plan . . .
Yeah, that is basically what it is. When you are disposing of investments you made 40 or 50 years ago so you could live well in retirement, they tax you on the capital gains and then turn around and take more out of the social security you paid in all your life to penalize you for making good investments.
