Retirees

Medicare Enrollment 

SISC requires retirees and their spouse/domestic partners age 65 or older to enroll in both Medicare Parts A and B. Failure to do so will result in a non-refundable surcharge that the retiree is responsible for.

• Enroll in Medicare Parts A & B when first eligible, 3 months prior to your 65th birthday month.
• Medicare must be effective the first day of your birthday month in which you turn 65. If your birthday falls on the 1st of the the month your Medicare must be effective on the 1st of the month prior to your birthday.  (Example: Birthday February 1st Medicare must be effective January 1st)
• Provide a copy of your Medicare card to the Risk Management office. The same applies to your spouse/domestic partner.
• Failure to comply with these guidelines and maintain continuous enrollment in Medicare Parts A & B will make you ineligible for a SISC plan.
• Do not enroll in Medicare Part D plan outside of SISC. This will automatically disenroll you from your SISC Medicare Part D plan.
