According to the AWS Free Usage Tier Offer Terms:

These free tiers are only available to new AWS customers, and are available for 12 months following your AWS sign-up date. You will not be eligible for the Offer if you or your organization create(s) more than one account to receive additional benefits under the Offer or if the new account is included in Consolidated Billing.

If you plan to continue running a t1.micro on EC2, you can get significantly reduced pricing by purchasing a reserved instance. Including the up-front charge, your monthly cost for the t1.micro (including 8GB EBS volume) could be around $7-9 per month, but keep an eye on other things like IO, network, and snapshot costs.
