白宫：约2,000万Medicare长者收到90美元直存 87.5万张支票同步寄出 抵扣10月保费
特朗普政府10月8日向约2,000万名联邦医疗保险（Medicare）受益人直接存入90美元，另有约87.5万张同额纸质支票已经寄出，用于一次性抵扣今年10月份的Part B（医疗）保费。
这笔钱来自国会设立的「Medicare改进基金」：该基金2008年获20亿美元拨款，这是成立以来首次动用它直接向受益人付款。特朗普总统10月2日预告此事时表示，这是要把钱直接放回长者口袋。白宫官员已向USA TODAY证实上述发放数字（约1,990万笔直存、约87.5万张支票）。
谁有份？参加「原始Medicare」（Original Medicare）Part B、居住在美国的人士自动获得，无需申请、不用打电话，约三分之二的受益人符合条件；由Medicaid代缴保费者、缴纳高收入附加费（IRMAA）者，以及Medicare Advantage（优势计划）参保者不在此次范围内。没有银行直存账户的人，支票将在10月内陆续寄达。2026年Part B标准月保费为202.90美元，这90美元相当于一次性的保费减免。
GSM提醒：联邦政府不会就这笔钱向您收费，也不会打电话索要银行账号或社安号。接到以「Medicare退款」为名要求提供银行卡信息的电话请直接挂断；有疑问可拨打1-800-MEDICARE（1-800-633-4227）核实。（来源：白宫官员向USA TODAY证实；CMS Medicare Part B保费事实表）
White House: About 20 Million Medicare Beneficiaries Get $90 Deposits, 875,000 Checks Mailed to Offset October Premiums
The Trump administration on October 8 deposited $90 directly to roughly 20 million Medicare beneficiaries, with about 875,000 paper checks for the same amount also mailed, as a one-time offset against October's Part B premium.
The money comes from the Medicare Improvement Fund, created by Congress in 2008 with a $2 billion appropriation; this is the first time the fund has been used to pay beneficiaries directly. President Trump previewed the move on October 2, saying he wanted to put money straight back into seniors' pockets. A White House official confirmed the figures to USA TODAY (about 19.9 million direct deposits and about 875,000 checks).
Who qualifies? People enrolled in Original Medicare Part B who live in the United States get it automatically - no application and no phone call needed; about two-thirds of beneficiaries qualify. Excluded are those whose premiums are paid by Medicaid, those who pay the high-income IRMAA surcharge, and Medicare Advantage enrollees. Anyone without direct deposit on file should receive the check in the mail during October. The standard Part B premium for 2026 is $202.90 a month, so the $90 amounts to a one-time premium break.
GSM reminder: The government will never charge a fee for this payment or call asking for your bank or Social Security numbers. Hang up on any "Medicare refund" call that asks for card details; with questions, call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). (Sources: White House official via USA TODAY; CMS Part B premium fact sheet)
