Don’t Delay Filing
For Medicare
“Don’t delay filing for medicare if you are within three months of your 65th birthday,” Mrs. H. F. Crumpton, social security district manager in Winchester, Virginia pointed out. “This advice applies to all those who are approaching 65 even though they may plan to continue working full time,” she said.
The enrollment period for signing up for the doctor bill insurance part of medicare is a 7 -month period beginning 3 months before the month you reach 65 and continuing for 3 months after you are 65. Mrs. Crumpton stressed, however, that medical insurance coverage can begin with the month of your 65th birthday only if you file your application in one of the 3 months before you reach 65.
An important point that the Winchester manager emphasized is that you don't have to retire to enroll for medicare. In fact, when you do file you may be surprised to learn that, because of new and more liberal provisions that started in 1966, your present earnings may permit you to receive partial social security cash benefits.
The concluding advice by Mrs. Crumpton is to visit your local social security office at 22 South Cameron Street three months before you celebrate your 65th birthday. By filing promptly for medicare and for any monthly cash benefits, you will be protecting yourself.
