When can I enroll in Medicare?

When can I enroll? 

You’re eligible to enroll during your Initial Enrollment Period, which is a 7-month window:

Starts: 3 months before the month you turn 65

Ends: 3 months after the month you turn 65

To avoid penalties and gaps in coverage, you should enroll unless you have qualifying employer coverage through a job with 20+ employees.

How do I enroll?

You can enroll online or by phone. You can also use a broker! Feel free to email StretchDollar and we’ll send you some contacts.
