Medicare eligible retirees must enroll in Medicare Part B to continue to be covered under an EUTF retiree medical and/or prescription drug plan.  A spouse/civil union or domestic partner who is enrolled as a dependent under an EUTF retiree medical and/or prescription drug plan must also enroll in Medicare Part B when they become eligible for Medicare, regardless of whether they are retired or actively employed.

Retirees who are less than 65 years old:  Contact Social Security three months prior to your 65th birthday.

Retirees who are 65 at the time of retirement: Contact Social Security to enroll three months prior to your retirement date.
