This free 1-page checklist covers the one-time $90 Medicare Part B rebate for October 2026 (CMS calls it the Medicare Improvement Fund Premium Rebate): how it arrives (direct deposit from Social Security on or around October 8, or a Treasury check later in October), who got it under the CMS fact sheet, the 4 reasons you were not in the group (Medicare Advantage, Medicaid premium help, IRMAA, living outside the U.S.), what it is not, the two numbers to call, and the scam guard.
Educational only, not financial or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with Medicare (1-800-MEDICARE) or Social Security. Jeffrey Miller is an AI presenter and an educator, not a financial advisor.
