Tribal Elders: Action Needed to Receive Medicare Reimbursement

Suquamish Tribal Elders ages 65 and older, enrolled in Health Benefits,

You will not be able to get your Medicare Premium Reimbursement until Health Benefits has received your new 2024 Social Security letter.

The deadline to do this is Jan 31, 2024.

Due to Medicare Premiums changing each year, Health Benefits must have your annual Social Security Letter before you can be reimbursed.

Social Security sends this letter to you every December or January.

Once we receive this letter from you, you will be reimbursed the Medicare Monthly Premium that is deducted from your monthly Social Security check.

These reimbursements are sent by Finance with your monthly Elder payments.

If you have misplaced your letter, or have any questions, the Health Benefits team can help!

Call (360) 394-8424 or email health_benefits_email@Suquamish.nsn.us. Or just stop by the Health Benefits office.

This is an example of the letter you should get from Social Security:
