For some reason I thought it was late August
Speculation is about a 2% COLA on Social Security which would mean many/most of those enrolled in Part B prior to 2017 would receive an increase in their premium while those enrolled in 2017 would potentially see a decrease.
Pure speculation of course and would depend on whether or not there is a COLA substantial enough to warrant an increase in Part B premium for those enrolled prior to 2017 (i.e. - hold harmless clause).

Beware of IRMAA changes for 2018, gonna surprise many people:

Looking like it might be unchanged. But people who didnt get an increase last few years will be playing catch up. Nothing definate yet, just speculation.

They did a video about the future solvency here and how these increases are for the future stability...
Where is the video that shows the lockbox for the SS Trust Fund?
Wouldn't it be the same video?
