IRMAA
Medicare’s Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount
The Social Security and Medicare systems are becoming a convoluted disaster that are on track to completely destroy Baby Boomers’ retirements.
What is IRMAA
IRMAA is a surcharge on top of your Medicare Part B and Part D premiums for having too much income.
The 4 Rules of Retirement
01.
In retirement you must enroll into Medicare if you no longer have creditable health coverage through an employer or spouse’s employer and are 65 years-0ld or older.
Failure to enroll results in the immediate loss of all Social Security benefits.
02.
Medicare premiums are based on your income through IRMAA.
The more income you have in retirement the higher your Medicare premiums.
03.
The more income you have in retirement the higher your Medicare premiums.
Some examples of income for IRMAA are:
- Social Security benefits
- Wages
- Interest
- Pension & Rental Income
- Capital Gains
- Dividends & any distribution from any Traditional 401(k)
- IRA or SEP account
04.
The bulk of your Medicare costs and all IRMAA surcharges are automatically paid by your Social Security benefit.
The more you save incorrectly for retirement the less Social Security benefit you will receive.
The unpleasant message here is that if Medicare costs were not properly factored into a retirement plan, that retirement plan could very well be worthless.
