I’M TURNING 65 SOON. WHAT’S NEXT?

Know Your Eligibility?

You're generally eligible for Medicare when you turn 65, even if you're still working or have health insurance from another source. If you're not receiving Social Security benefits, you'll need to enroll in Medicare. Those with creditable coverage (typically through an employer) can delay Part B enrollment. Visit www.ssa.gov/benefits/medicare to enroll online or call 1-800-772-1213.

Once you've completed the online enrollment, you’ll typically get your card in the mail within 30 days after enrollment.

When can I enroll in Medicare (Initial Enrollment Period (IEP))?

Will I be automatically enrolled?

If you began receiving Social Security retirement benefits between age 62 and up to 4 months before turning 65, you will be automatically enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B when you turn 65.

You'll receive your Medicare card in the mail about three months before your 65th birthday.

Those receiving Social Security Disability for a minimum of 24 months will be automatically enrolled in Part A and B in month 25.

Your Medicare card is proof that you’re entitled to health benefits under Medicare. Also, visit www.medicare.gov for more information.
