It's a push if your SS is $1250/mo or more. A portion of SS recipients were at $109/mo due to COLA calculations last few years. If you started receiving SS recently you were paying $134/mo which is where it is projected to stay for 2018. I don't know when it becomes official. I think the way this kind of works is they can't raise your medicare premium more than your raise of SS thus why you were frozen at $109/mo. Any new comers pay the going rate then the protection starts. Any experts out there know if I got this about right ?
