In fact, they told me everything I already knew to be correct by first hand experience was not possible or correct.

The clerk didn't even know what FBDE (Full Benefit Dual Eligible) meant. Once I got that far, they told me to call the state Medicaid office even after I told here they told me to call SSA.

So, I still have the question that either no one can answer, or that I get conflicting answers about. Even here on this board, I get inconsistent replies.

It SHOULD be a simple question.

When on FBDE, should the Part B Premium be deducted from your SSA disbursement?

If it was deducted and it was not supposed to be, is a refund possible?
