Abstract: These regulations establish rules for determining the new income-related monthly adjustment amounts for Medicare Part B beneficiaries, as is mandated by the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003. SSA determines if and how much of an adjustment beneficiaries must pay by computing a modified adjusted gross income based on 2-year-old tax data from the Internal Revenue Service. The respondents are Medicare Part B beneficiaries who want SSA to use a different tax year's data or who are appealing SSA's determination.
