Social Security

If you are still working at UPS why would you need to pay Medicare premiums?

You don't have to

I don’t think your employer needs to provide the plan, you can do it on your own even if retired.

You are correct though.

Say what? Who said UPS?

My comment was for anybody who may be offered a HSA.

Nice try though...

I thought we were talking about someone at age 65?

If you are still working at ups past age 65 I feel sorry for you. Lol, why?

These are UPS employees

All single? Spouse work for UPS too?

Perhaps not

Your thinking is flawed

FINALLY, got approved for Social Security.

Took well over the 30 days they estimated. May have something to do with the extra $150k.

I was getting nervous....

They always take a long time. I was approved a couple of weeks after I was starting payments but since those are a month behind it didn't matter.

I kind of had conditional approval where they said all the paperwork looked good but it was sitting on some guys desk for the final approval.

We're you 62 or 65? You will love medicare, NOT.

IRRMA! Get ready. Sic em' boys!

Expect the Medicare Advantage and Supplement plans to get worse every year also.

IRMAA

Something to plan for as you get closer to the two year before 65 income.

The local has nothing to do with it after you turn 65 and have to switch to Medicare.

Even before that my local still had the UPS/Aetna insurance instead of Teamcare.

Not much you can do, especially if you have income coming in from various sources.

Wut? My local provides the secondary insurance,for those on medicare, along with dental and prescription. $100 a month, $200 married.
