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 ?
Not an expert but the $109 freeze is over. $134 is the new amount for most recipients.
