Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out.
To address the issue of being reimbursed for the two months of Medicare premiums that were incorrectly deducted from your Social Security check, you should contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) directly. They will be able to assist you in correcting the error and processing your reimbursement.
Here’s what you can do:
1. Gather any documentation related to the Medicare premiums and the incorrect deductions from your Social Security benefits.
2. Call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 to explain the situation and request reimbursement for the overcharged premiums.
3. Be prepared to provide details about the payments and any correspondence you may have received regarding Medicaid covering your premiums.
Please note that the SSA is experiencing high call volumes, so patience may be required when attempting to reach them. Keep a record of all communications with the SSA for your reference.
Take care,
Martha and team
