Social Security & Medicare (cont’d) If you, or a covered dependent, will be Medicare eligible (typically age 65 or older) at retirement, contact HR-Benefits three months prior to your retirement date (date when you are no longer on the University’s payroll). HR-Benefits will provide a Social Security form (verification of your health plan coverage) that you will need to enroll in Medicare without any “late enrollment” penalty. When you are retired, you must enroll in Medicare (Part A and Part B) as soon as you are eligible, if you choose to have health coverage through the University. This requirement also applies to any covered dependent, as soon as they become Medicare-eligible, if you are retired. 18
