Retirees Turning Age 65

Retirees Turning Age 65

About 2-1/2 months prior to the month you or a covered spouse turn 65, a packet will be mailed to your home with information about moving to the District's Medicare plan. This packet will include information about the plan and its cost. This plan is for retirees and spouses age 65 and over and requires Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Medicare Part B (medical insurance). 

If you do not have sufficient Social Security quarters to qualify for Medicare Part A, you will still be able to continue your health coverage under the group plan. However, you are still required to enroll in Medicare Part B as any carrier changes you might make in the future could require Medicare Part B coverage. Your spouse will also have to be enrolled in Medicare Part B. The plan available for retirees and spouses over 65 who are not eligible for Medicare Part A is the National One plan.

You can apply for Medicare part A and part B by visiting your local Social Security Office or online with the Social Security Administration.
