π Turning 65? Getting ready to retire? The countdown to Medicare is officially on! β³
Did you know you have a 7-month window to enroll in Medicare? Itβs called your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP), and missing it could lead to stressful gaps in coverage or lifetime late penalties. π
Here is your enrollment cheat sheet:
π’ 3 Months Before: Your window opens! (This is the best time to apply so your coverage starts the first day of your birthday month).
π Your Birthday Month: Happy 65th!
π΄ 3 Months After: Your window closes.
Working past 65? πΌ
If you are still working and have creditable health coverage through your employer, you might be able to delay enrolling without any penalties.
