“Remember to self-enroll in Medicare.”
- Enrolling Medicare, you must be 65 or older to be eligible for Medicare enrollment Part A and Part B. Also, if you have been receiving Social Security disability for 24 months you are eligible for Medicare regardless of age.
- If you’re already getting benefits from Social Security, you’ll automatically get Part A and Part B starting the first day of the month you turn 65. If you’re under 65 and have a disability, you’ll automatically get Part A and Part B after you get disability benefits from Social Security for 24 months.
- If you’re automatically enrolled, you’ll get your red, white, and blue Medicare card in the mail 3 months before your 65th birthday or 25th months of disability benefits. If you do nothing, you’ll keep Part B and will have to pay Part B premiums through your Social Security benefits. You can opt out of Part B if you are on a group plan through an employer or a spouse’s plan without incurring a penalty.
