If you are not already drawing from your Social Security four months before your birth month, and you want to sign up for Medicare, then three months before your 65th birthday, you have three options.
**IMPORTANT** To get on a Medicare Advantage plan or Medicare Supplement plan you must have both A & B from Original Medicare. You even have to have Part A & B for TRICARE! So do not delay, if you want to pick up Medicare, when it's your time do so... Apply!

Here’s how: Complete two important forms, print them, and submit them to your local Social Security office. Details are below. This confirms you had credible coverage after age 65.
In section 12, “Remarks,” enter the date you want your Part B coverage to start. Medicare Part B always begins on the 1st of the month. Use the form below to request your start date.
Have your employer (typically your HR department) sign it.
Social Security (ssa.gov) and Medicare.gov are your primary resources for the information you need.
After signing up for a Medicare plan and submitting the required forms to your local Social Security office, you will receive a letter stating you have a late enrollment penalty. To avoid the penalty, call the number on the letter and inform them that you have already submitted your credible coverage letters to Social Security. This step should have been completed before receiving the letter.
