Does anyone know, if you get hit with a medicare surcharge for a higher income (like $230 per month) from your last year of working. Will this revert back to $115 a month the next year if your income is a lot lower and not earned income at all? Or is it a forever thing?
Someone I know started collecting SS in 2010, but retired in 2009 with a high income due to severence & vacation pay. SS based his higher Medicare premium on 2009's income, even though he was way under the amount for a surcharge and is just turning 65 in March of 2011. They ignored 2010's lower income !
