President Trump announced Friday that over 20 million “wonderful seniors” will receive $90 checks this month to help cover Medicare premiums.
Eligible Medicare Part B enrollees will receive the one-time payment via direct deposit or check thanks to the Medicare Improvement Fund that was established in 2008, according to the White House.

I was not aware of this upcoming payment and was surprised when a $90 deposit hit my checking account today.

Won’t turn it down. $90 is $90.

Nothing has shown up in our account yet.

Nope. The line item just said “External Deposit: SSA TREAS 310 - XXSOC SEC”.

“was Trumps name on the deposit? It should be.”
was it his money, or did it come from the taxpayers?

I don’t know what, if any, schedule SS might be following. I logged on to my social security account but did not see anything about this $90 deposit.

It’s actually money that has been sitting in this account for years and years. Trump is just spending it.
It should have been spent years ago.
I would be willing to bet there are many, many accounts in the government that have cash allocated to them…that just sit there.

Oops... I searched but must have blinked when that result rolled by on my screen.

Nothing has shown up in our account yet.Do you have to pay Social Security IRMAA? If so, you ain't getting the $90.
Guess I'm not a "wonderful senior."
