If your question is not answered

Federal Times’ experts cannot answer every question submitted. You’ll have the best chance of getting an answer to your question if you follow these steps:

• Ask questions that have not previously been answered. Before submitting a question, review the Q&As already on the site. Review the Frequently Asked Questions or use the "Search" tool above.

• Provide sufficient information about yourself — for instance, a question about retirement should say which retirement system you are in.

• Do not expect personal legal, financial or career advice. Answers that require a legal opinion, particularly those involving divorce and court orders, cannot be provided.

Q: I am a retired federal employee and receive an annuity. I pay for my Medicare Part B quarterly. I would like to have this cost deducted monthly from my annuity. Is there a form to do this? If so, where can I get this form?

A: To arrange for this change, call the Medicare Administration at 1-800-633-4227 and talk to a benefits specialist.

http://www.opm.gov/retire/related/medicare/index.asp The information that you provided to have Medicare premiums withheld from federal annuities is incorrect. OPM cannot start, stop, change or refund a Medicare premium. Please DO NOT refer readers to OPM. They need to contact Medicare. Form SSA-795 might be required.

As of August 1, 2012: I just went through the process of requesting that my Medicare Part B premium be deducted from my federal annuity. The only way to get this done is to call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213. They will take your information and start the process. No forms.
