The following are the 2009 Medicare premiums for Part B.  Premiums will be based upon the beneficiary’s 2007 reportable income.  A beneficiary can call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 and request that it use a more recent tax return if the beneficiary had a significant reduction in income since filing the 2007 income tax return because of “life-changing events.”
