Information about Medicare changes for 2026 will be available at www.medicare.gov. For Medicare enrollees, the 2026 premium amount will be available via my Social Security Message Center starting in late November. Individuals who have not opted to receive messages online will receive their COLA notice by mail in December.
I am annoyed that the Social Security website requires ID.ME or LOGIN.GOV to work. Those mechanisms appear a bit intrusive.
I got a notice today my Medicare Rx premium will go from $66.17 a month to $179.67 a month starting January 1.
That’s more than double.
