With the midterm elections<\/a> just weeks away, President Donald Trump<\/a> announced<\/a> on Friday that more than 20 million Medicare<\/a> Part B beneficiaries will receive a one-time $90 payment this month.<\/p>\n

Trump, who declared<\/a> on Truth Social that his administration would send out “checks,” said the money will come from the $2 billion Medicare Improvement Fund and is expected<\/a> to appear in seniors’ bank accounts around October 8.<\/p>\n

The $90 payment is not even enough to cover half of the standard monthly Medicare Part B premium payment<\/a>, which is about $202. But Trump described the comparatively small payment as proof that Americans could trust his promise of a much heftier windfall if Republicans<\/a> prevail in next month’s elections.<\/p>\n

“Because I delivered on this very important issue for the American people, they can also rest assured the highly popular $5,000 Trump Dividend will be distributed to every U.S. Citizen if, and when, the Republicans win the Midterm Elections!” Trump said.<\/p>\n

Americans have reason to be skeptical that they will ever see such a payout. Although roughly 1 million unsubsidized Affordable Care Act<\/a> enrollees are currently receiving<\/a> $500 payments, Trump has on several other occasions<\/a> floated or promised Americans larger sums of free money that never materialized.<\/p>\n

In February 2025, he proposed $5,000 “DOGE<\/a> dividend” checks for Americans, purportedly funded by savings generated by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency<\/a>, but the payments were never authorized<\/a> by the GOP-controlled Congress.<\/p>\n

That November, he promised<\/a> that most Americans would receive tariff payments of “at least $2,000 a person,” but Congress has still not authorized them nearly a year later.<\/p>\n

Sending all 240 million adult citizens a $5,000 check, as Trump has promised<\/a> to do if the GOP<\/a> wins the midterms, would cost<\/a> an estimated $1.2 trillion.<\/p>\n

“At this point Trump\u2019s economic policy is starting to look less like governing and more like Publishers Clearing House with a campaign logo,” remarked<\/a> the Indiana-based political commentator Mike Young.<\/p>\n

Sen. Ron Wyden<\/a> (D-Ore.) described<\/a> the payments as “Trump’s latest attempt to bribe the American public,” arguing that $90 amounts to a pittance compared with the higher costs seniors are facing under Trump’s policies.<\/p>\n

“This year, Trump handed seniors a $200 monthly Medicare premium for the first time ever, and he also shoveled $20 billion in extra payments to insurance companies selling private Medicare plans,\u201d Wyden said. \u201cThis is another desperate attempt by a failed president to escape Americans\u2019 revulsion with his failed agenda, amounting to one tank of Trump-inflated gas.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
