Early this morning, we released our January 2026 client e-newsletter. If you did not receive it by email, please see the link below to open it in PDF form from our website.
Our three articles this month cover higher Medicare costs in 2026, Medicaid long-term care benefits when you are married, and how much of your Long-Term Care Insurance premiums are deductible this year.
Our three articles this month cover:
- Higher Medicare costs in 2026: At a time when we are frequently confronting the rising cost of living, enrollees will soon see a rise in their Medicare Part A and Part B premiums and deductibles.
- Medicaid long-term care benefits when you are married: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has increased the resources limit and monthly maintenance allowance for a healthy spouse, when one spouse’s long-term care is being funded by Medicaid.
- How much of your Long-Term Care Insurance premiums are deductible: The IRS has updated the tax deduction allowed for LTCI for those who spend more than 7.5 percent of their adjusted gross income on medical expenses.
