What is Medicare Special Enrollment Period for the Working Aged?

A Special Enrollment Period is available if you waited to enroll in Medicare Part B because you or your spouse had group health coverage through a current employer or union.

In such a case, you can enroll in Medicare Part B while you are still covered by an employer or union group health plan through you or your spouse's employment.

You may also enroll during the eight months after the month when the employer coverage ends, or when the employment ends, whichever comes first.

If you are working and plan to keep your employer's group health coverage, talk to your benefits office administrator to help you decide when to enroll in Part B.
