Just received my new benefit amount. It tell me my benefit is 547.00 for 2012 I received 568.00 for 2011 so that is not a 3% increase. Thats a 21 dollar decrease. Would you please look into this. Thank you.

I wonder where Emily lives? Because the extra $40.00 per month don't even start to cover the extra taxes we are paying over the last 3 years,let alone the price of everything it takes day to day living expenses

Social Security Benefit SIGNIFICANT 3.5% increase. Medicare Part B premium increases 3.6%, no mention of SIGNIFICANT.
The $2930 prior to Donut Hole is a combination of individual PLUS insurance company payments.
