I don't have a deduction for Part D right now, but I foolishly did
not join Medicare ASAP and I pay over $100 for Part B. They seem to
have increased my Pt B premiums by three whole dollars...

Your January payment is actually for December (this month), I didn't
take it as a statement of benefits for 2010
Mary Anne KC
hmmm interesting cause letter said I would get 20 less on my jan
3rd payment
Relayer
Peoplle paid on the 3rd in January actually will be paid on December
31. I think it's just a "clean up: from various tiny mistakes from
2009. Mine actually went up $2 or so. But SSA always pays in arrears.
In fact for those paid on the 3rd, in 2010, for the first 3-4 months
you get it a little early because of the calendar.

I know about dec 31 but the gap between dec 31 and feb 3rd is one of
the lonbgest i can recall...perheps 5 week wait or more?

If your norma receipt date is the 3rd then the payment is SSI and for
the month received, not the month prior.
I wouldn't be surprised of SSI stays on the 3rd in Jan. The always
release SSDI and SSR early when the 1st is a holiday

=========================
Not quite accurate George.
Some of us folks on SSDI do recieve our checks/deposits on the third of
every month. Just because it's on the 3rd does not mean that the person is
on SSI.
Mary Anne KC
I am NOT SSI but SSD I would get 655 a month but with Part D of
medicare I get only 620 in my next checjk and I do get medicaid. I
have Blue Cross of D cause I have schizophrenia and my mwedicine
would be 720 a month without the help I get. Before I was diagnosed
and disabled I worked 7 years in customer service at a supermarket
which was a union job. The wage wasn't the best which is why my
money from ssd is so low.

I stand corrected!
Guess I got it backwards! SSI ONLY are 1st of the month.
Any SS beneficiary prior to 5/97 and those with both SSI-and SS are
disbursed on the 3rd of the month.
I guess the 3rd of the month is just for you old-timers :-)

I stand corrected!

Oops, maybe I should have been Politically Correct with:

Well, guess a label is a label, but do these make it any better? :-)

Better?

That's odd. I know a person who was approved for SSDI 23 months ago and
does not receive SSI. Their pay date is on the 3rd of each month and I
could never figure out why. I always thought he was confused until he
showed me paperwork confirming his deposits.

Are you self-supporting, or do you share a household with someone who pays
towards living expenses? The reason I ask, is if you are on your own and
completely supporting yourself, you should be getting both SSDI _and_ SSI,
with the total between the two being the maximum for SSI, $674. If you get
$655 SSDI, you would get $19 SSI. There are several ladies in my building
who didn't know that if they got less than the full allowance for SSI, in
SSA retirement, widowers and/or disability, they could get SSI in addition.
But this only applied to them, because they lived on their own, and didn't
share a household with anyone else. i told them and they applied at the
local SSA office and got SSI. one was getting less that $300 a month before.
Yeah, $19 isn't much, but if you live alone, you are eligible for it, and
every little bit counts.
Also, with your low income, you should be getting the extra help for Part D,
and I would assume you get Medicaid in the form of a Medicare Savings Plan
wich pays all of your deductables, copayments and premiums. With your low
income, you shouldn't be having anything deducted from your SSDI for
anything; if you are paying Blue Cross, you need to switch drug plans. AARP
has a plan that your Part D premium provides coverage for, without added
fees, and they cover everything the Medicare/Medicaid formulary covers. The
copays for meds are low, and when you reach a certain amount, they are free.
And you don't need to be a senior or pay for membership to AARP either. The
drug plan is available to any adult receiving Medicare Part D.
