Question

How do I appeal IRMAA?

Answer

File Form SSA-44 with the Social Security Administration to appeal an IRMAA surcharge. You may qualify if you experienced a life-changing event such as marriage, divorce, your spouse’s death, a work stoppage or reduction (retirement is the most common), loss of income-producing property, an employer settlement, or a loss of pension income. Include supporting documentation with your filing. Appeals typically process in 30 to 60 days, and the adjustment is retroactive to the year the event occurred.
