ARSEA/APEAL Members received this message in their Weekly Update email several weeks ago. By request, we are sharing it here for those who might be able to take advantage of this reimbursement.
STATE EMPLOYEE HEALTH INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENTS AVAILABLE FOR SOME MEDICARE PART D PAYMENTS
Medicare-age retirees who participated in the State Employee Health Insurance Program and had a Part D IRMAA — Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount — deducted from their 2025 Social Security payments are eligible to request reimbursement for those monthly premiums.
The reimbursement is available only for Part D premiums, not those associated with Part B coverage.
IRMAA is a surcharge that some individuals are required to pay in addition to their Medicare Part B and Part D premiums if their income is above certain levels. The Social Security Administration determines if an individual owes an IRMAA based on the income reported on their IRS tax return two years prior.
Reimbursements may be received by providing the State Employees Insurance Board with a letter or statement from the Social Security Administration indicating the Part D IRMAA payments that were made.
The documentation may be emailed to accounting@alseib.org or mailed to SEIB, Attn: Accounting, P.O. Box 304900, Montgomery, AL 36130.
If you are unable to locate the notice you received from the Social Security Administration indicating the payments, please call 1-800-772-1213 or visit www.ssa.gov to request another copy.
