2023 Social Security is set to increase for approximately 70 million Americans. The cost-of-living adjustment, also known as COLA, will increase 8.7% beginning in January 2023.
2023 Social Security Increase
According to the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, Kilolo Kijakzi, 2023’s COLA adjustment is the first time in over a decade that Medicare premiums are not rising and shows that there is more support for older Americans. On average, this increase will equate to more than $140 per month.
Impact on Medicare Agents
Starting in January, along with the decrease in Part B premiums, Medicare beneficiaries are going to have more money in their pockets for the first time in years. This is going to allow agents to be able to offer and cross-sell products that can help cover gaps in their client’s coverage. Life insurance, hospital indemnity, and dental/vision plans are great starting points when discussing gap coverage options. If you utilize a generic scope of appointment (SOA), hospital indemnity and dental, vision, and hearing products can be discussed during your Medicare appointment!
