Hi,

I'm sorry but I can't really give you a good answer without more information. I'm guessing that the money Social Security is taking out of your monthly payments is your Medicare premiums. Unless you also have Medicaid and your state is paying your Part B premiums, then the withholding is likely correct.

Best, Jerry
