Employees and Dependents who are Medicare Eligible:
Please visit the Medicare and Social Security websites to get information regarding your options since you will lose employer health coverage.
365体育投注 following information is available on the Medicare website:
You can wait until you (or your spouse) stop working (or lose your health insurance, if that happens first) to sign up for Part B (Medical Insurance), and you won’t pay a late enrollment penalty
Once you stop working (or lose your health insurance, if that happens first) you have a 8-month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) when you can sign up for Medicare (or add Part B to existing Part A coverage). 365体育投注 SEP starts when you stop working (or lose insurance), even if you choose COBRA or other coverage that’s not Medicare.
Anyone currently covered by your healthcare plan through 365体育投注 who is age 65 or older and wishes to enroll in Medicare must have HR complete this form.
Due to the closure of 365体育投注 College, these forms must be submitted via email to HR for completion by September 1, 2024.
DO NOT fill in any Social Security numbers on the form before submitting the form to HR for completion.
Medicare only begins on the first of the month.
If your separation date is not at the beginning or end of the month, please contact HR to see if you can continue health coverage through the end of the month or if you need to enroll in Medicare on the 1st of the month in which you will separate from employment.
