When you turn 65, you become eligible for Medicare, but enrollment isn’t always automatic. If you’re already receiving Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, you’ll likely be enrolled automatically. If not, you’ll need to actively enroll during your Initial Enrollment Period, which is a 7-month window around your 65th birthday. Failing to enroll on time can lead to late enrollment penalties.
Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know:
Eligibility: Age: Generally, you become eligible for Medicare at age 65.
Citizenship/Residency: You must be a U.S. citizen or a legal resident who has lived in the U.S. for at least 5 years.
Social Security: You’re automatically enrolled if you’re already receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits.
