Is anyone an expert out there?! I received a notification from ss that I would receive a 1.5% cost of living increase effective 2014. However, due to my income in the year 2012, I will now receive approx $50 less per month due to a $42 increase in part B and a $12.10 increase (did not even have that charge before) for drug coverage which I have in my own supplemental plan! If this is true, will my part B go down next year since my income has gone down considerably for the year 2013 which is my first full year of retirement?! Thanks, Tom Rhoads
