SS benefits not being recieved, nor applied to Med premiums. SS acct suspended and I didn't request

[arleens927813]

In Jan 23 I became eligible to receive $148 in SS benefit.  My SS account online shows "suspended" and I did not request any suspension.  The benefit is also not being applied to my Medicare premium ($165.90 for standard, plus $65.90 for IRMAA), which I realize will take all my SS benefit and then leave me with some remaining Medicare payment.  And that is fine, but I do not see where the SS benefit of $148 is being applied to my Medicare premium.  I am being billed and paying the full amount due for my Medicare.  My local SS office said maybe the SS benefit and the Medicare premium payments I am making will all reconcile at the end of the year.  I am not so sure of that and hate to wait until my problem is a year old before pursuing  a resolution.

That's a totally unacceptable response.  Call back and get someone different or a supervisor.

You did apply for benefits, didn't you?
