What it did to a Social Security payment
The Part B premium is withheld from the Social Security payment, so it lands in the same January as the cost-of-living adjustment and the two move against each other. A $2,000 monthly benefit in 2009 became $2,000 gross with the 0.0% adjustment — a rise of +$0. After the premium went from $96.40 to $110.50, the payment rose +$0, an effective 0.00%.
| 2009 | 2010 | |
|---|---|---|
| Gross monthly benefit | $2,000 | $2,000 |
| Part B premium | $96.40 | $96.40 |
| Net payment | $1,903 | $1,903 |

The 2010 income-related tiers
Anyone whose modified adjusted gross income on the 2008 tax return crossed the first threshold paid more than the standard premium. The adjustment is a flat dollar amount per tier, not a percentage of income, and it steps at the bracket boundary rather than phasing in.
| Single | Married filing jointly | Adjustment | Total Part B |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to $85,000 | Up to $170,000 | none | $110.50 |
| $85,001 to $107,000 | $170,001 to $214,000 | $44.20 | $154.70 |
| $107,001 to $160,000 | $214,001 to $320,000 | $110.50 | $221.00 |
| $160,001 to $214,000 | $320,001 to $428,000 | $176.80 | $287.30 |
| $214,001 and above | $428,001 and above | $243.10 | $353.60 |
