Could it increase my SS check? LOL!

Got a notice from Social Security Admin -- we are getting a whopping 2% increase for 2018.

Of course, I have not yet received a notice of how much my Medicare Part B premium is going to increase. A couple of years ago, the SS increase minus the Medicare increase gave me a grand increase of $1.00.
