SLIDE:

I’m getting ready to sign up for SS and Medicare. Any tips? PM me if you have helpful advice on this confusing process.

You too? I already did Medicare Part A, now I get to do Part B.

I'm not happy about it, but I am grateful to God that I made it this far.

I did both Medicare and SS signups online. I did them 2 years apart, end each one was slow, but eventually got done. Plan ahead. Medicare sucks for me, because practically anything I’d use, it doesn’t cover.

I’d be interested in any response to your query. I will be turning 62 in three months and plan to draw SS. I won’t be eligible for Medicare for another 5 years though.

Are you retiring at 65? I know that Medicare has to be taken at 65, but not necessarily SS.

If you have a question on Medicare, I might be blue to give advise. Which would include that, to avoid penalty don’t take as much time as you are given. Do it within the 3 months prior to your birthday to avoid penalty.
