<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>
