Medicare Reimbursements for City Retirees

All retirees and spouses who currently receive a reimbursement of Medicare premiums from the City should review this information.  The 2022 maximum reimbursable amount is $170.10 per month. Some retirees might be eligible to have the reimbursement increased as the cost of the Medicare premium is increased.  However, in order to have the reimbursement increased, you must inform the Benefits office at Cambridge City Hall of the annual increase in monthly Medicare payments. 

Please submit a copy of the 1099 form from Medicare each year in order to have the reimbursement rate adjusted.  If you have not received an increase in prior years, you can also submit 1099 forms for each year from 2016 through 2022 in order to request a retroactive payment for the reimbursements owed to you.  If you do not have your 1099 form, you can contact the Social Security Office to request one.

Each covered member, retiree and spouse, should submit a separate request due to possible different payment amounts.  Please send this information to Sheila Keady Rawson at benefits@cambridgema.gov
