Three months before you reach age 65, you become eligible to apply for Medicare, whether or not you are still covered under an employer or union-sponsored health plan.

If you continue working after your 65th birthday, the three months begin as soon as you retire. If you apply in these first three months, your Medicare coverage will start on the first day of the month you turn 65. Your enrollment period ends three months after the month of your 65th birthday. If you apply during your birthday month or the next three months, coverage will be delayed for 1-3 months.
