I've done quite a bit of searching around for the topic and have not found any information for you. I suggest that you turn to whoever told you that you could apply for a refund - or talk to your local/state contacts. And if you find out something about this situation, please let me know. You can return here and post a comment with what you've found. In the meantime I'll keep looking around as well. Sorry I couldn't help - jb Hello, David -

THIS RESULTED IN A LARGE INCREASE IN THE MONTHLY PREMIUM FOR MEDICARE FOR THAT YEAR. THIS WAS A ONE-TIME EVENT AND NOT REFLECTIVE OF MY ACTUAL ANNUAL INCOME. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD APPLY FOR A REFUND OF THE INCREASED PREMIUM I PAID FOR THAT YEAR. IS THIS THE CASE AND, IF SO, HOW DO I GO ABOUT REQUESTING TH4E REFUND?
