What happened
Humana is cutting or eliminating the Part B giveback for 62% of affected Medicare Advantage members in its 2027 plans. This reduction means that a lost $50 monthly giveback turns a $70 COLA raise into only a $20 net gain for affected retirees.

Why it matters
The Part B giveback is used by some Medicare Advantage plans to cover a share of the member's Medicare Part B premium. When this giveback is reduced, less is withheld from Social Security, directly altering the net monthly deposit for affected members.
