If you or your spouse are Medicare eligible (usually age 65 and older), and are still enrolled in our active medical coverage, generally you do not have to enroll in and pay the premium for Medicare Part B. You can enroll in Medicare Part B during a Special Election Period (SEP) following you or your spouse’s retirement.   Contact Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 for more information.
