Trump announces nearly $100 Medicare checks as he renews $5,000 dividend pledge

  • President Donald Trump plans $90 payments for more than 20 million Medicare Part B seniors.
  • California is set to receive more than 1.52 million checks, the highest state total.
  • The administration will use the Medicare Improvement Fund to finance the payments.

President Donald Trump said his administration will send one-time $90 checks this month to more than 20 million seniors enrolled in Medicare Part B, using money from the Medicare Improvement Fund. Most eligible recipients will receive direct deposits in early October, while those without direct deposit will be mailed checks at their Medicare registration address. Beneficiaries whose premiums are paid by Medicaid and those paying an income-related monthly adjustment amount are excluded. California is set to receive more than 1.52 million payments, followed by Texas, Florida, New York and Pennsylvania. The initiative follows $500 refund checks sent to nearly 1 million Affordable Care Act enrollees in 30 states. Trump also renewed his proposed $5,000 dividend payment, which he has tied to Republicans retaining control of Congress in the November midterms.
