[NFBMO] Social Security /Medicare changes for 2023<o:p></o:p></p></div></div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The centers for Medicare and Medicaid services and Social
Security have released updates for 2023.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Good news for the first time in ten years there will not be
an increase in the standard Medicare premium, in fact it will
decrease.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently the premium is $170.10 in 2023 it will go down to
$164.90 or a decrease of $5.20.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, for those paying for prescription drug,
Part D, in most cases the premium will also likely decrease <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Social Security checks will increase by
8.7%.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SSI for individuals will go from $841 to $914 and couples
from$1,261 up to $1,371.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">SGA for blind recipients will go from $2,260 to $2,460 a
month.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For non-blind SGA will go from $1,350 to
$1,470.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Trial work period month will be counted for earnings
exceeding 1,050.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The only negative news for most of us is that to earn a
quarter of coverage toward being eligible for Disabillty benefits in
2023 you need to earn $16,640 which is up from $1,510. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you want to figure your 2023 check amount follow the
steps below.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Note: due to Social Security rounding rules the amount you
calculate maybe a couple of dollars different than what you
figure.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Add your current check amount together with the current
Medicare premium of $170.10<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then multiply that figure by 1.087<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Next, subtract the new Medicare premium of $164.90
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally discard any cents and you have a reasonable
estimate of your new amount.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is an example.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Betty Lou’s 2022 check is $1,201 <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Add her premium of $170.10 getting 1,371.10<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Multiply $1,371.10 by 1.087 to get $1,490.38<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From 1,490.38 subtract $164.90 giving a result of
$1,325.48Discarding the pennies gives Betty Lou an estimated check of
$1,325.00<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope this is informative<o:p></o:p></p>
