Medicare and Social Security Q and A Highlights
Medicare officials confirmed two health insurance claim numbers were in use for a single beneficiary, one canceled and a $60 deductible refunded. A $124 February 1981 denial was due to incomplete information but was processed after review, with refunds issued. Social Security notes that $8,000 earned this year reduces benefits at $1 for every $2 over $6,000, and Individual Retirement Accounts do not avoid this rule. A Florida substitute teaching question explains eligibility for Social Security credits through the Florida Retirement System, with emergency day-to-day substitutes excluded.
