US President Donald Trump has announced on Friday that over 20 million “wonderful seniors” will receive $90 Medicare checks this month to help cover Medicare premiums. The eligible Medicare Part B enrollees will receive the one-time $90 Medicare payment via direct deposit or check, the White House announcement said.
In an evening Truth Social post, the president said this money would be sourced from the Medicare Improvement Fund, which he called a “pointless ‘Slush Fund.’” The fund was created by Congress in 2008 to make improvements to the Medicare fee-for-service program.
