These Social Security and Medicare Changes Offer a Measure of Relief for Seniors
As noted in an earlier post, the reacceleration of inflation and its impact on 2025 COLAs is likely to further constrain seniors’ purchasing power, but here’s a bit of good news that could soften that for some. An article posted yesterday by WKYC’s Monica Robins describes how Medicare Part B out-of-pocket limits will help with drug expenses, and explains the impact of limits on insulin costs offer additional relief for some.
Robins’ post also assures current Social Security beneficiaries that the trust fund depletion problem remains a few years away–still a problem, just not for 2025. Regarding Social Security Administration field office access, she also notes the new emphasis on appointments rather than drop-ins and the push to use online services for routine matters.
Check the article out in full here. Although the title references Northeast Ohio, the changes she notes apply to all.
