[cliffordu]

[pinto]

2. $36

SSDI

[jdadd]

3. $39.00

[dmr]

4. What's the percentage?

Will there be a Medicare increase, too?

I hope not, I've been racking up the medical bills left & right. I'd love some relief.

[monmouth]

5. I think it's 3.06%. I've had no notice from them though..n/t

[Bryn]

6. $51

SSDI

Geez, I feel like I am in 1% now Ha!

7. In addition to which, my Medicare premium went down.

[Suich]

9. Mine went up $3.40!

I have no idea how they come up with these figures!

[DavidDvorkin]

10. That's weird!

I assumed that everyone was changing the same way.

[enough]

13. So did mine, about $15 per month (nt)

[jwirr]

8. If I figured it correctly - $4.00. Hurrah!

[Lasher]

11. Don't spend it all just yet.

Your Medicare premiums will probably go up by the exact same amount.

16. That used to drive my mom crazy (RIP)

As soon as they got a little more in the SS - the Medicare costs would rise to almost the same amount.

The little guy just can't win.

[Lasher]

17. I have since confirmed this suspicion.

Every bit of the Social Security COLA will be eaten up by an increase in Medicare premiums.

[Petrushka]

12. $45.00 [n/t]

[Peregrine Took]

14. About $40.00

Its something!

[RebelOne]

21. Me too. But we'll take what we can get after so long without an increase. n/t

[JitterbugPerfume]

15. $30

[Submariner]

18. If you're ex-military with a DD-214, let SS know that

My friend started collecting at age 62, and gets $64/month extra from submitting his DD-214 when he filed.

[Zoigal]

19. $40 more

Medicare is $99.90...is that what everyone else
is paying?...z

[Suich]

20. My Medicare is the same as yours.

Used to be $96.50

[RebelOne]

22. No, I have been paying $110 a month for several years now. n/t

[jwirr]

23. I got about that but then they cut my food stamps from $164 to $153. Can't win.
