and have no coverage of any type for drugs? May you stay healthy.

btw - the first year I turned 65 the Supplemental was $83 a month.

You are right that they take the Medicare monthly fee from your SS check when you start receiving it. Otherwise I had to pay quarterly in advance. I delayed starting SS. Is 2014 your full retirement year?

I think you're thinking of SEMI-monthly. Buns_of_Fire Nov 2013 #16

Biennially means every other year...biannually and semiannually are synonyms for 2x/year. n/t Chan790 Nov 2013 #21
