CMS describes one-time $90 rebate for certain Original Medicare beneficiaries
CMS’s October FAQ describes a one-time $90 premium rebate and provides contacts to verify eligibility and payment status.
What the record says
CMS’s October 3, 2026 FAQ describes one $90 premium rebate in October 2026 for certain Original Medicare Part B beneficiaries.
The FAQ says Medicare Advantage enrollees are not eligible. Other eligibility conditions apply; this record does not determine individual eligibility.
CMS directs eligibility questions to 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). It directs payment-status inquiries to Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 beginning October 15, 2026.

Practical next step
Use the CMS FAQ and call 1-800-MEDICARE to verify your individual eligibility. For payment-status questions, the FAQ directs beneficiaries to Social Security beginning October 15, 2026.
Limits and what is not established
Not every Medicare beneficiary qualifies. CMS lists conditions involving U.S. residence, Medicaid premium assistance and income-related adjustments; verify their application with Medicare. This record does not promise payment, confirm receipt or create a new application process.
