Hi canceled part B of a medical I would like to know why I did not receive my $144 per month from Social Security

Hi. Social Security doesn't process Medicare Part B termination requests immediately, so depending on when you submitted your request it could take a few months before your premium withholdings stop. If Social Security withholds premiums for any months that you don't have Part B coverage, though, they should automatically refund those premiums.

Can I get a review regarding the penalty deducted due to the four years I interrupted my Medicare enrollment due to hardship?

I will turn 65 3/31/2022. What should I do in regards to Medicare. I am currently employed & my benefits include medical insurance paid for by my employer. I do not want to lose Medicare or have to pay a penalty when I qualify, but need to know when I need to apply & will I be still be allowed to continue with the insurance provided by my employer?

Still can’t get a straight answer on this! And very frustrated. Millions of people take Medicare benefits and delay SS benefits. This is not some kind of personal dilemma. I paid Medicare quarterly in advance. My SS benefits started mid-quarter. How do I get a refund? Particularly since SS benefits started mid month (Bday) and not on the cycle of Medicare coverage on the 1st thru 30th e.g. quarter paid for Aug 1 — Oct 31st. Do they refund? Is it prorated the Bday (let’s say on the 5th or the 26th, etc). Please respond!!!!!!

How do I choose medicare supplement insurance

Hi. My expertise is limited to Social Security benefits. Medicare supplement plans are private insurance plans, so I can't give you advice with regard to such plans. However, you may want to start your research on the Medicare.gov website: https://www.medicare.gov/.

My medicare payment is currently increased due to my salary. On Nov 1st of 2021, I will retire and have no earned income. When can I submit the SSA-44? When I complete the 2021 return this January, the adjusted gross income will be high due to working for most of the year. What documents of proof can I file to document no job income? Would i have to wait for the 2022 tax return to show low adjusted gross income to support a SSA-44 form submission.

Why do I have to fill out form SSA-795 if I have never received benefits? I am trying to have Medicare part B in place for when I retire at end of December. I am still currently employed and covered under my employers health care plan and recently enrolled in Medicare PartA. I am 66 years and 3 months old so I am at my normal retirement age. Just don’t understand this form and what I’m supposed to write on it.

Is there a limit you can earn working part time on Medicare

Hi. No. Earnings in any amount would have no effect on a person's Medicare coverage. However, if you receive Medicare based on being eligible for Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits, then your Medicare coverage could eventually end if you earn enough to cause your disability benefits to be terminated.

I paid my Medicare premium in December for 5 months ( nov 2020 - march 2021) prior to retiring. I then began receiving my Social Security checks when I retired in January 2021. Medicare premiums were deducted even though I had prepaid. I was told I have an overpayment of $511.00 which will be reimbursed to me. My questions is, how long does this take? No one at Medicare or Social Security could tell me. I've been waiting since January! Is there something I can do besides keep calling them? Are they that far behind with reimbursing people?
Thanks

Hi Larry,
