🚨 PSA: Beware of Medicare Benefit Scam Calls

We’ve received reports of unsolicited callers claiming to offer Medicare benefits or represent Medicare. These calls may be attempts to obtain your Medicare number, Social Security number, banking information, or other personal details.

Protect yourself:

• Don’t share personal, medical, or financial information with an unexpected caller.• Don’t trust Caller ID—phone numbers and business names can be spoofed.• Hang up if the caller pressures you or demands immediate action.• Never pay for supposed Medicare benefits using gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency.• Report unwanted calls directly to the FCC using its official complaint form:

https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=39744

When reporting, include the date and time of the call, the number displayed, the name the caller used, and a brief description. Do not include sensitive information in your report.

Please share this post, especially with family members and neighbors who may be targeted.

🧓 Turning 65 and Still Working? Here's How Medicare Works With Your Employer Plan
✅ Step 1: Understand Your Options
Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance):
Usually premium-free if you or your spouse paid Medicare taxes for 10+ years.
You can enroll at 65 even if you keep your employer coverage.
Acts as secondary insurance to your employer plan.
Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance):
Has a monthly premium.
You can delay enrollment without penalty if your employer coverage is creditable (most large employer plans are).
🕒 Step 2: Know When to Enroll
Enroll in Part A at 65 (optional but recommended).
Delay Part B until you retire or lose employer coverage.
When you retire, you get an 8-month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to sign up for Part B without penalty.
🧾 Step 3: Confirm Your Coverage
Ask your HR or benefits administrator:
Is my employer coverage creditable for Medicare?
Will my plan change if I enroll in Medicare?
⚠️ Avoid These Mistakes
❌ Don’t miss your SEP — late enrollment in Part B can mean lifetime penalties.
❌ Don’t assume COBRA or retiree coverage counts as creditable — it doesn’t.
