Do You Need Medicare?
There are specific rules to follow if you are over 65 and not yet enrolled in Medicare:
- Certain time frames must be followed in order to avoid late-enrollment penalties once you stop working, or if you work beyond age 65
- When your employer coverage ends, or when you retire or stop working at or beyond age 65, you should generally opt in to Medicare Part A, as there is no premium if you or your spouse contributed to Medicare payroll taxes for 10 years. If you want medical coverage, you would also need to enroll in Medicare Part B, regardless of whether your employer offers COBRA
If you work beyond age 65 for an employer with less than 20 employees and you did not enroll in Part B when you
turned 65, your monthly Part B premium increases 10% for each 12-month period you were eligible.
For example, if you work at a company with 13 employees and do not sign up for Part B until you are 67, your Part B
premium would increase by 20%.
