Do I Automatically Get Medicare When I Turn 65?
If you’re receiving Social Security benefits when you turn 65, you’ll be automatically enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B.
If you haven’t started receiving Social Security benefits by 65, you must manually sign up for Medicare. This can be done during your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP), which starts three months before you turn 65 and lasts for seven months.
Delaying enrollment can have lasting impacts, such as potential penalties. Contact your agent for further guidance.
