Hi,

I've been SS for years, you report to cl your arable and then grossed uped SS, cl then uncross it to a point so it is similar to your normal income without Ss for cl purposes, for Medicare Levi, he's repayments they take your grossed uped amount. Both my husband and I SS as we both have access to it, makes a big difference to our money.

The only other thing is if you pay/get child support they take your grossed up amount.

Hope this helps.
