Request to Lower IRMAA

If you’ve had a life-changing event that reduced your household income, you can ask to lower the additional amount you’ll pay for Medicare Part B and Part D. Life-changing events include marriage, divorce, the death of a spouse, loss of income, and an employer settlement payment.

Complete the Medicare Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount-Life-changing Event (SSA-44) (PDF) form.
