Stamp Costs Continue to Rise! The price of stamps has
increased from 68 cents to 73 cents, marking the sixth price
hike since January 2021, and the second hike in 2024. This is the first 5 cent increase since January of 2019.
First-class mail volume has plummeted from 27 billion pieces in July 2007 to just 900 million in June 2022, a 68% decline. Despite decreasing mail volume, USPS costs continue to rise, with factors like delivery density and retiree benefits contributing more to the recent price increase than inflation.

We are quickly approaching the 2021 Medicare Open Enrollment Period (OEP). Some pricing is starting to be released, at this time it looks like Part D drug premiums will rise around 5% for 2022. No word yet on Part B premiums which most people have withdrawn from their Social Security check, but with a predicted 6%+ increase in COLA for your SS payment, my guess is that we will see an increase in Part B premium as well. Keep in mind, we have ways to counteract an increase in premiums, one way is through a Part B premium credit. For 2021, I saved about 40 clients $75 per person on their Part B premium, that's $900 per year, or $1,800 for a couple, which goes a long way when you are on a fixed income. Call us today to set up time to sit down during open enrollment, we will see how we can help you too!
