This week, 20+ million seniors on Medicare began receiving checks or deposits for $100, including more than a million seniors right here in New York.
Verdict: Not true.
The payment is $90, not $100. The White House fact sheet and the CMS FAQ both describe a one-time $90 rebate for about 20.8 million people in Original Medicare Part B. Medicare Advantage enrollees, people whose premiums Medicaid pays, and people who pay an income surcharge are not eligible.
