Medigap Insurance - Currently, there are ten standardized Medigap plans called "A" through "J." Medigap policies must follow Federal and State laws. These laws protect you. The front of a Medigap policy must clearly identify it as "Medicare Supplement Insurance." Each plan, A through J, has a different set of benefits. Plan A covers only the basic (core) benefits. These basic benefits are included in all the Medicare plans (A through J). Medigap Plans B through J offer extra benefits. Plan J offers the most benefits.

When signing admission
forms for a person unable to sign themselves in for health care, remember to sign: "Betty Anderson, by her attorney-in-fact Brett Anderson" (assuming Brett has a power of attorney), or "Brett Anderson, only in his capacity as attorney-in-fact."   Draw a line through the phrase "responsible party."

 

  Social Security Retirement Ages:
http://www.ssa.gov/retirechartred.htm
examples:
born in 1943 through 1954 - your retirement age is 66
born after 1959 - your retirement age is 67
"early retirement" remains unchanged at age 62


Q. Can I collect on my ex-wife's Social Security?  We were married for nine years.  She is 58 and I am 61.  She made more money than I did.
A. You do not qualify for benefits based on your ex-wife's work record because you were married for less than 10 years. Social Security rules require that marriages must last for 10 years or longer in order to collect benefits on a divorced spouse's work history.

Under federal law, people who are receiving Social Security benefits who have not reached full retirement age are entitled to receive all of their benefits as long as their earnings are under the limits indicated below. For people born in 1942, the full retirement age is 65 and 10 months. The full retirement age will increase gradually each year until it reaches age 67 for people born in 1960 or later.

Disability beneficiaries' earnings limits: If you work while receiving disability benefits you must tell us about your earnings no matter how little you earn. You may have unlimited earnings during a trial work period of up to nine months (not necessarily in a row) and still receive full benefits. Once you have completed your nine-month trial work period, we will determine if you are still entitled to disability benefits. You also may be eligible for other work incentives to help you make the transition back to work.
