Wasn’t our December Luncheon wonderful? I thought the Deterding Choir was fantastic. Ninety out of ninety three who indicated that they planned to attend actually did. This just goes to show that our members live up to their word. I also want to mention that the wonderful gifts that we donated to children in need was just terrific. I know that these gifts will be sincerely appreciated.

As the new year begins, we need to contemplate what we are thankful for and what still needs to be accomplished. I am very thankful for my CalSTRS check. Will future retirees receive a defined benefit? There is no assurance that this will occur. Currently, initiatives are being proposed to terminate this.

Notifying our legislators about other matters that are essential to us is also vital. We must continue to inform our leaders about the inequities in the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset. As we all know, earned benefits either by contribution or survivorship have been eliminated from public employees. Our representatives must be informed about this inequity. I also want to emphasize that our legislators need to know that our organization supports the protection and enhancement of Medicare benefits.

As all of you know, CalRTA continues to support public education. We stand with current teachers in opposition to those who want to curtail educators’ due process and collective bargaining. Currently, there is a movement to evaluate teachers based upon student test scores. We, as retired educators, must oppose this. Opposition to using public money to support private and parochial schools must also be on our agenda.

Lessons from the Classroom of Life Donald F. Houser, CLU, ChFC, FLMI, Insurance Chair

Medicare for 2017 – The Double Whammy!

As you may know, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has implemented a 0.3 percent cost of living (COLA) increase which began with checks received in January 2017. In other words, for every $100 of income due you or your spouse, there will be a $0.30 COLA.

And you probably also know that for the past several years, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) have been trying to increase the amount of premiums they charge for Medicare Part B (which covers the costs of medical service providers, i.e., physicians, lab work, etc.).

Those who have enough Social Security income to have their Medicare Part B premiums deducted have remitted about $104.90 each month for the past several years. There are about 38 million Medicare Part B participants (about 70%) who are in this category.

Because of a “quirk” in the regulations, CMS can’t increase the premiums for Medicare Part B if it would reduce the amount of income that a beneficiary receives from Social Security. Again, if the COLA is zero (as it was in 2016) or 0.3% for 2017, these Social Security recipients won’t see an increase in their Part B premiums.

So if CMS can’t increase premiums on those 70% of Medicare participants who have enough Social Security income to pay for the amount of $104.90 currently being deducted, guess whose premiums get increased?

Yes, this increase is being borne by the following: Those who enrolled for Part B for the first time in 2016 or will enroll in 2017; Those who don’t get any Social Security benefits; Those who don’t have enough Social Security income to pay for all of their Part B premiums; Those who are billed directly for their Part B premiums by CMS; and Those who have higher levels of income.

Teachers and other public servants who comprise the 30% (about 16 million) of Medicare participants who don’t have any or an insufficient amount of Social Security income to pay their Part B premiums are facing another increase of $12.20 per month from the $121.80 they paid in 2016 to the $134.00 per month they must pay in 2017. Ouch!

And then there is the IRS “Double Whammy”. If the Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) as reported on your IRS tax return for 2 years ago (i.e., 2015) is above a certain amount, you will pay the standard premium of $134.00 per month plus an extra charge, called an Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA).

Your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is your income, less the following expenses; educators, reservists, moving, health savings, self-employed health and pensions, alimony, student loan interest, IRA deductions, tuition fees, etc. It is found on line 37 of the federal individual tax return, Form 1040.

The Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) is your AGI plus any non-taxable income you received in 2015, such as non-taxable Social Security benefits, tax-exempt interest income, excluded foreign income, student loan interest, IRA contributions and any passive loss or passive income.

In other words, if your MAGI falls within the following levels, you are subject to the IRMAA surcharge and your monthly Medicare Part B premium will be even higher than the $134.00/month amount: Above $85,000 ($170,000-filing jointly), you will pay $187.50 per month Above $107,000 ($214,000-filing jointly), you will pay $267.90 per month Above $160,000 ($320,000-filing jointly), you will pay $348.30 per month Above $214,000 ($428,000-filing jointly), you will pay $428.60 per month

Medicare Part D (prescription drugs) will also increase proportionally with higher income amounts.

MEET MS.CREATIVITY

Delores grew up in Berwyn, Illinois with her mom, dad, two sisters and one brother. She attended J. Sterling Morton High School and actively participated in the Biology Club and the Altruistic Committee. She read to a blind student who attended the same school and she was also a reporter for the high school newspaper.

Delores always knew that she wanted to become a teacher. As a young child she arranged her doll collection like a classroom of students with herself as the teacher. She earned a scholarship to the University Of Chicago Teachers ’ College but the commute to the University proved problematic so she opted to attend J. Sterling Morton Junior College.

After attending Jr. College for two years her parents decided to move to California. Delores completed her credential at Sacramento State and was hired by Arcade District to teach second grade. Within four years Arcade, F.O., Orangevale and Carmichael districts unified and became San Juan Unified. Delores completed her 37 year career in San Juan teaching in grades 1, 2, and 3. Delores loved the students’ enthusiasm and watching them grow and learn.

Delores also loved to have fun. One evening in 1964, she attended a dance for singles at Mission Oaks Community Center. There she met handsome and gregarious Lloyd Bousliman. After meeting Delores that evening, Lloyd told a friend that she was the girl he was going to marry. He did indeed marry her in 1965 after a short courtship. During their 50 years of marriage they traveled to Africa three times, gave slide presentations of each of their trips and attended

numerous Zoological Conferences across the U.S.A.

After retirement Delores and Lloyd got involved in CalRTA, Division 75. Lloyd became the official General Meeting Photographer and Delores became the Social Chairman and Historian for the group. She did that job for 10 successful years. She also won the Martin Mathiesen Award for her exceptional work in creating table

centerpieces to raffle at the General Meetings with profits being given to the Scholarship Fund. She worked with the Eskaton Food Supervisor and selected the menus for each of the general meetings.

Delores and Lloyd became docents for the Sacramento Zoo and gave many student/adult tours inspiring everyone to learn more about animals and to preserve their environment. They also participated in many other zoo activities and after 12 years incorporated Folsom Zoo into their schedule in order to teach people about Rescue Animals. In 2003 they won the Don Smith Award for their contributions to zoo programs and Activities.

Sadly Delores lost her husband in 2015 but continues to devote her volunteer time to CalRTA on the Scholarship Committee and the Sacramento and Folsom Zoos. Delores loves retirement because she has the freedom to choose what she wants to do each and every day.

The Spotlight Member for the month of February is creative, dedicated and kind hearted Delores Bousliman.

More Lessons from the Classroom of Life Donald F. Houser

Don’t Wait - Change Your Yahoo Email Password Now!

1

You probably know that the Internet Service Provider Yahoo recently reported that over one billion of their email accounts have had their passwords stolen by hackers. Yahoo is one of the original internet “search engines” and they provid free email accounts to anyone who requests one. Two other huge providers of free email accounts are Google (gmail.com) and Microsoft (hotmail.com and outlook.com).

Hundreds of thousands of people all over the world have yahoo.com email accounts. For example, the phone company AT&T uses Yahoo email even though the address may not say yahoo.com

To illustrate, typical AT&T email accounts may use the following email addresses: att.net, bellatlantic.net, bellsouth.net, nvbell.net, pacbell.net, sbcglobal.net, snet.net, swbell.net, wans.net – all of which are serviced by Yahoo.

Even if you are a customer with the other phone companies – Verizon, Sprint, Surewest / Consolidated, T-Mobile – or cable and internet providers – Apple, Comcast / Xfinity, Uverse / DirectTV – your email could still be managed by Yahoo. If your internet service provider (ISP) uses Yahoo as your email provider, you will need to change your password as soon as possible.

How will you know if your password has been stolen? If friends in your list of contacts report receiving an email from you saying that you are on vacation and all your money and plane tickets were stolen, and to please send money to help you come home, you’ve been “hacked”!

If you have gotten an email purporting to be from Chase Bank, Bank of America, or Wells Fargo, etc. and it asks you to verify your credentials by clicking on a link in the email, you’ve been hacked.

If you provide such information as your account number and password, you’ll become a victim of identity theft and you may find that spurious

charges and/or withdrawals are appearing on your statement.

So by all means, you must change your password. Don’t use passwords such as “qwerty”, password”, “123456”, “football”, etc. which can be easily guessed by the most amateurish hacker.

The best way is with a password manager such as TrueKey, LastPass, Dashlane, Apple’s KeyChain, etc. which can generate random passwords with digits, upper and lower case letters and special characters of virtually any length.

You should use a different password for your email and for each and every online account If you don’t want to use a password manager, but want to create a unique password, try using the first letters of a phrase that is unique to you, or the first letters of a verse of poetry or a nursery rhyme that is familiar or meaningful to you. For example, “London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down, my fair lady” would be “lbifdfdfdmfl”. Take a piece of paper and write down the new password and the old password you used for Yahoo mail.

Create a different password for each online account. Then, using the internet browser on your computer, go to www.yahoo.com and click on Yahoo mail. Then enter your email address and your old password. On the upper right corner of your screen should be your name which has a blue line under it. This will bring up your account information “profile” which has a place for you to change your password. Enter your old password and then enter your new password and enter it again. Then click on change my password and you will be set!

One more thing. There is no cost to you for changing your password. If you are asked for money to change your password, it’s a “scam” and you need to go to yahoo.com and follow the above instructions.

Good Luck!
