Correct biker. If your income is $88K or less and your monthly SS check was les than $170/month (not likely since that equals a yearly benefit of only $2040) than the Medicare increase will eat up the new SS raise.
People please stop comparing the 5.9% raise SS increase to the Medicare 6.7% premium increase. That is an apples and oranges comparison.
