You should know, there is inaccurate information about Medicare on page 4 of the hard copy of your Open Enrollment Booklet. The information indicates that employees/and or family members that become Medicare eligible must enroll in Medicare and in a Medicare coordinated plan.
This is absolutely wrong!
If you continue working at UC past age 65, you are not required to sign up for Medicare Part B. In fact, you may delay enrollment, without penalty and the University does not even provide a Medicare coordinated plan option for employees that have not yet retired.
For more information, see the Medicare Factsheet [PDF] and/or contact Social Security at 800-772-1213. A corrected version of the Open Enrollment booklet is available online.
