In that case be sure to contact Social Security about 3 months before you turn age 65 to check about applying for Medicare.

If your wife qualifies for benefits from your record, the value of her benefits, added to your own, may help you decide if taking your benefits sooner is your best choice.

Even if you have health insurance through a current or former employer or as part of your severance package, you should still check to see whether you need to sign up for Medicare. Some health insurance plans change automatically at age 65.
Will do. So tell me, could I also choose to get my retirement benefits earlier?
That is possible, you may choose to start receiving retirement benefits earlier.
Well, I'm just thinking here. About life expectation and all. What good is retirement if I don't live to see it?
Allow me to ease your fears: about one out of every four 65-year-olds today will live past age 90. One out of 10 will live past age 95.
