May I ask a question about applying for Medicare? What if I forget to register for Medicare?
All you need to do is read the general and special enrollment period on page 12 of the Medicare booklet and also your Medicare coverage could be delayed and cost more.
Are you aware of the benefits payable to family members? What is the maximum amount that a family is entitled to receive?
The limit varies but it is generally between 150 to 180 percent of the basic benefit rate. If the sum of benefits payable to family members is greater than this limit the benefits will be reduced proportionately.
