Thank you. Appreciated.

There is no "check application status" area on the SS site. They merely say to contact Medicare to do this. Medicare is of no use whatsoever and only say "contact SS." What you MAY be referring to is a check on social security status. I don't know. Thanks though. I appreciate any help I can get.

Thank you. That does help.

What is the name of your state?California Can anyone please help? I have no idea where to turn... I have been on my wife's health plan with Kaiser and on medicare for the past 5 years. I did not sign up for medicare part B because I am on her plan. She is retiring next month so I need to get...

Sorry, I have kept from responding the way I wanted to but it's clearly YOU who have not done much reading. You have said things to me and asked me questions that I have addressed multiple times. Frankly, it's been a bit annoying to have to repeat myself over and over. You just do not understand...

Yes I know this. This is why I ask questions rather than take for granted that they have my best interest in mind. Frankly, the entire thing does seem like a scam by the govt. designed to get a bunch of poor souls to pay penalties in April for under withholding during the year.

I appreciate that. I actually don't expect to change them nor prove anything, I just want to understand what is going on.

So if I make $970 every two weeks coming to $25,200 I am not liable for any taxes? I know the answer to that, I am just being sarcastic.
