President Trump announced Friday evening that his administration will distribute checks of approximately $90 to $100 to more than 20 million senior citizens enrolled in Medicare.
According to the announcements made on Truth Social, the total payout will amount to roughly $2 billion and is intended to offset Medicare Part B premium costs and help pay for benefits. The funds will be sourced from the Medicare Improvement Fund.
Coming approximately a month before the midterm elections, the initiative adds to a recent series of promised refunds, rebates, and dividends issued by the administration.
