What it did to a Social Security payment
The Part B premium is withheld from the Social Security payment, so it lands in the same January as the cost-of-living adjustment and the two move against each other. A $2,000 monthly benefit in 2005 became $2,082 gross with the 4.1% adjustment — a rise of +$82. After the premium went from $78.20 to $88.50, the payment rose +$72, an effective 3.75%.
