Thanks Danielle, I retired in January 2022 and applied for Medicare Part B. I have been informed that I do not need to apply for Part B if I still have medical coverage from my previous employer and am also covered under my husband's health insurance plan.

@BoomerBenefits Год назад

Hi Linda, congrats on your retirement! Retiree coverage is not creditable for Medicare. However, if your husband actively works for an employer with 20+ employees and you're covered by their health plan, you can delay Medicare until he retires.

@johnbarone3711 3 года назад

Danielle, great video as always I have a question that no one really covers. My full retirement age is 66.6. I have VA benefits right now, is that considered credible insurance or do I have to start paying or should start paying at 65?

@BoomerBenefits 3 года назад

Hi John - The VA isn’t creditable coverage for Part A or Part B, so if you just have the VA coverage without creditable employer coverage then you would want to enroll in Part A and Part B to avoid late penalties and to have access to civilian doctors and hospitals if you ever needed them. However, the VA is creditable coverage for Part D. Medicare has nothing to do with your full retirement age. Your Medicare age is 65-years-old. You will want to enroll in Medicare during your Initial Enrollment Period which is 3 months before your 65th birthday month and ends 3 months after your birth month. Here is more information: boomerbenefits.com/veterans-medicare-va-benefits/ boomerbenefits.com/new-to-medicare/apply-for-medicare/

@steelvalleypiper7835 3 года назад

Great info. Thanks. When you say “your employer coverage,” do you mean “the employer through which you get coverage”? That is, if my wife works past age 65 but has current medical coverage through MY employer (not through hers) and if my employer’s health coverage (that includes her) is “creditable coverage” (ie, more than 20 employers), is she considered “covered” and not required to make an immediate choice within 3 months of her birthday?

@BoomerBenefits 3 года назад

If you are actively working for a large employer with 20+ employees and you and your wife are covered under your employer insurance, you both can delay Medicare until you retire/lose active employer insurance. Learn more: boomerbenefits.com/new-to-medicare/medicare-and-employer-coverage/

Thanks Danielle for your very informative videos. I'm a recent subscriber so I may have missed the information regarding my current situation. I turn 70 at the end of August so I will be getting the maximum SS benefit. I will be retiring the end of this year. My wife (who is 65) has been with me on my group health ins.We both are enrolled in Medicare Part A. When should we apply for Part B? And I believe we BOTH have to have the CMS FORMS completed as well, correct?

@BoomerBenefits 2 года назад

Hi William - We recommend applying for Medicare 2 months before you plan on retiring! However, you will have an 8-month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to apply for Medicare Part B without a penalty. You will have a 2-month SEP to apply for a Part D plan. This SEP begins on the day you retire or lose active employer coverage! Now, if your wife will still be in her Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) whenever you retire, she will need to apply for Medicare during her IEP. But, if she is outside her IEP, she will have the same 8-month and 2-month SEP for Part B and Part D. In this case, yes, you will both need to submit form CMS-L564 to the Social Security office.

@BoomerBenefits 2 года назад

Hi Kathleen - If you continue to have insurance past 65 from an employer that has 20 or more employees and you actively work for that employer, then you can delay all of Medicare until you retire without having to pay the penalty.

@BoomerBenefits 2 года назад

Hi Jackie - We're happy you found our video helpful! When you apply for Medicare, you will be able to write the effective date you wish for your Medicare to start! With that said, we would recommend applying for Medicare a month or two before your desired start date. So in your case, we recommend applying for Medicare in November 2022. Also, you will not be able to apply for Medicare online. You would have to fill out the paper application and submit it to the Social Security office, along with the CMS-L564 form, which proves you have been covered by creditable coverage while you were delaying Medicare.

Hi Charles, if you actively work for a large employer with 20+ employees and you're covered by their health insurance, you can delay all parts of Medicare until you retire! You will just want to make sure you stop HSA contributions at least 6 months before you apply for Medicare to avoid a potential IRS penalty.

@BoomerBenefits 2 года назад

Hi Mariana - We're happy to hear she now has the 40 credits and wants to continue working! However, the only way she can delay Medicare without a penalty is if she is actively working for a large employer with 20+ employees, and is covered by their group insurance. Since your mom is working independently and has insurance through the marketplace, she will want to enroll in Medicare during her Initial Enrollment Period. Once she becomes eligible for Medicare, her Marketplace premium will be much more expensive than if she were enrolled with Medicare.

My husband did not sign up for a part D when he signed up for Medicare because he does not take any medications. Seven years later he is signing up for a Medicare Advantage plan which includes a drug coverage. Medicare is now going to penalize him for not signing up for a drug plan from the time he signed up for Medicare, seven years ago. I plan on appealing this decision stating that he would have paid an average of $50.00 a month for a plan that he would not have used. We estimated he would have paid approximately $4200.00 over the seven years for nothing. Do you think this is a reasonable request and what are your thoughts about the outcome of appealing?

@BoomerBenefits 3 года назад

You likely won't get an approval on that appeal, but it's worth a shot. We wish you the best of luck.

@BoomerBenefits 2 года назад

Hi Doug - If you continue to have insurance past 65 from an employer that has 20 or more employees and you or your spouse actively works for that employer, then you can delay all of Medicare until you retire without having to pay the penalty. However, Part A is $0/month for most people, so you can go ahead and enroll in Part A to have extra hospital stay coverage (unless you plan to contribute to an H.S.A. account). Now, once you do retire/lose active employer coverage (whichever comes first), you will have an 8-month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to enroll in Medicare Part A and Part B, and a 2-month SEP to enroll in a Part D plan without a late enrollment penalty. Once your Part B becomes effective, your 6-month Medigap Open Enrollment will begin. You can learn more about this by watching our video: Retiring Past 65?

@captainkangaroo4301 2 года назад

If I decide to forgo applying for social security until age 70 and continue to work well into my 70’s and keep my large employer high deductible health plan and continue contributing to my HSA do I need to notify the government that I am not signing up for Medicare part A at age 65 or can I simply do nothing until I near work stoppage? Is the answer to this question the same in all 50 states?

@BoomerBenefits 2 года назад

If you actively work for a large employer with 20+ employees and you have their insurance, then you can delay all parts of Medicare without being charged a penalty. You do not have to notify anyone and this is the same across all 50 states. You will just want to be sure your employer fills out the CMS-L564 form when you near retirement, which shows you have been covered by creditable coverage while you were delaying Medicare.

My husband is still working at age 69, he did not sign up for part B, he is under my medical coverage from my employer which has more than 20 employees. I am going to retire soon and would like to sign him up for medicare advantage coverage, Does he need to apply for medicare part B before he can get Medicare advantage? Thank you.

@BoomerBenefits 3 года назад

Yes, he will need to have already applied for Part B before he can get a Medicare Advantage plan. However, he will have 8 months from the time he loses employer coverage to add on Part B without penalty. He can apply for Part B while still covered under work insurance if he'd like so he has no lapse in coverage.

Do you have to file any paperwork with Medicare or Social Security to let them know that you want to delay all of your Medicare benefits? I am working pass 65 and I have health insurance with an HSA from my employer. I called Social Security, and the rep told me to file form 40B and CMSL564 but write on it that I want to delay my benefits. Is that correct?

@BoomerBenefits Год назад

Yes, that is correct! You will have your employer fill out the form CMS-L564, which proves you were covered by creditable coverage while delaying Medicare. The form CMS-40B is the Part B application. You will submit both of these forms to the Social Security office when you apply for Medicare. Learn more here: boomerbenefits.com/enrolling-in-medicare-after-working-past-65/

@rabokarabekian409 2 года назад

While I hope you are making an ironic joke, let's run through some facts. To begin with, here are other things that are socialized: public education, public health organizations, taxing, government itself, military, police, roads, most water systems, and then go look into corporates grants, subsidies, and tax "incentives. At least, "The Fed" is a private for-profit business. You clearly have never seen an itemized hospital bill to get any realistic perspective on what US "healthcare" is. Hint - it's insanely greedy providers. On top of that, most hospitals get out of paying any taxes whatsoever, because they are "non-profit". Greed, you say, from whom? Furthermore, insurers are allowed to change coverage at random without notification, even-retroactively; and they always "negotiate" hugely lower bills than an uninsured person would pay. Or does greed solve every problem it creates? Of course, that would be a complete contradiction, but that never slows anybody down.

I am currently in my SEP..have enrolled in Part A and am covered by fully subsidized COBRA (that was part of my package from my previous employer) through the end of June. I planned on enrolling for Part B during my SEP in early June so it would be effective July 1st. Here's the question...I'm considering returning to the full-time employment for another couple of years and close to an offer. That could mean that I'd be under another group health plan starting in early June. Can I assume that I won't have to utilize the SEP at all, and not enroll in Part B because I'm going onto another employer plan?

@BoomerBenefits 3 года назад

Hi Jack - If you will be actively working for a large employer and will be covered by their insurance, you can delay enrolling in Medicare Part B. However, if there is a gap in coverage from your SEP ending and you not yet being covered by large employer insurance, there is a chance you will receive a penalty if you are not covered by creditable insurance at the time. As long as that new employer insurance will start before your 8 month window ends, then you won't have a penalty.
