The Story
President Donald Trump announced late Friday that his administration will send a one-time $90 payment to more than 20 million Americans enrolled in Medicare to help offset monthly insurance premium costs. The payments, totaling approximately $2 billion, will come from the Medicare Improvement Fund. Most eligible Medicare Part B enrollees are expected to receive the funds via direct deposit in early October, with others receiving a mailed check.
