Medicare typically starts when you turn 65 years old.
Have you reached 65 but decided to delay your benefits?
Yes, I have decided to delay receiving my benefits, is there someone I should contact about this?
Yes, you would need to contact Social Security at least 3 months before you turn 65 to check about applying for Medicare.
What happens if I need Medicare but I didn't sign up?
If you didn't sign up on time, you benefits may be delayed and there may be a higher cost associated with it.
Do I still need to look into getting Medicare even I have health insurance through my employer?
Yes, you should still check to see if you should sign up with Medicare because once you turn 65, some health insurance plans automatically change.
Does this apply if you have health insurance as part of a severance package?
Yes, even if you receive health insurance through severage, you should still look into Medicare.
Can I file for only one benefit?
