Two Year-End Social Security Notices: One Brings a Raise, One Can Claw Back Money
Original: Two Social Security Notices Can Arrive Around Year-End. One Gives You the 2027 Raise. The Other Prices Medicare on Money You Made in 2025 and Can Take Part of It Back
As the year ends, Social Security recipients may receive two notices: one announcing the 2027 cost-of-living increase to their benefits, and a Medicare income-related premium notice that calculates monthly premiums based on 2025 earnings. Higher earners can face an IRMAA surcharge, effectively reducing the value of their raise. People are urged to read both letters carefully and consider appealing if their income has since dropped.
Why now: Year-end is when the annual COLA announcement and Medicare IRMAA notices land, directly affecting retirees' finances.
