Three-tenths of one percent it is.

Expected later in the year is the new cost for Medicare Part B that is expected to go up some from the current $104.90 monthly. Some unlucky soles pay $166 per month for Part B and their cost is expected to go up to over $200 monthly.

The latest CPI-W information was released Wednesday. Based on the figures released thus far this fiscal year, an expected Social Security COLA for next year is currently at 1%, but between now and then it can go up or down as the economy goes.
