Trump plans one-time $90 Medicare payment for more than 20 million Americans

  • President Donald Trump said more than 20 million Medicare enrollees will receive a one-time $90 payment.
  • The Medicare Improvement Fund received a $2 billion congressional allocation for the payments.
  • Medicaid-covered beneficiaries and enrollees paying income-related premiums are excluded.

President Donald Trump said the U.S. government will send a one-time $90 payment to more than 20 million Medicare enrollees to help offset Medicare Part B premiums. Payments are due to begin in early October, primarily through direct deposit, with checks mailed to Medicare-registered addresses for recipients without direct deposit. The payments will be funded through the Medicare Improvement Fund, which Congress allocated $2 billion. People whose premiums are paid by Medicaid and enrollees charged income-related additional premiums will not qualify. Trump also renewed his proposal for a $5,000 Trump dividend for adult U.S. citizens if Republicans retain their House and Senate majorities in the midterm elections, citing tariff revenue and economic performance.
