Likewise many folks collect more than $1400/month SSI.
FYI Your reported income needs to be $500,000 to have a Medicare premium of $504.90 and that is the total premium not additional. Thus their premium is +$356.40 higher than the average Joe. Oh I can't imagine how those $500K AGI seniors are making ends meet.
