Title: Premium payment vs shutdown
Post by: appleface on October 08, 2013, 04:53:36 PM

Hi, all

I usually pay Medicare premium  on the. Beginning of the October. But I still did not receive the bill statement. Does the shutdown cause the problem?

Thanks

Apple

That's a really interesting question.  I was under the impression that the shutdown wouldn't affect Medicare or Social Security, but maybe it affects the postal service?

Not supposed to affect the Post Office.  They are Federal but support themselves.  They are going broke by the way!
