It is not necessary to “sign up” for Medicare. Approximately 3 months before your 65th birthday, you will receive your Medicare card in the mail. The Federal Government already has enough information on you, they know exactly when you will turn 65. If you are not receiving Social Security yet, you will then receive a bill in the mail you must pay (Medicare is not free). If you are collecting SS, your Medicare will be deducted from your SS. Please note also, your Social Security number will not appear on your Medicare card, they changed that a number of years ago due to fraud.

Thanks for your reply. The local SS office doesn’t seem to have any idea what is going on. I am one of those people eligible for Medicare, but not currently eligible for SS.

Thanks for your response. I called the local SS office and they were clueless and had a 2 month wait time for an office visit..
