A. Well, yes and no. When you turn 65, you'll probably need to sign up for Medicare. But when it comes to Social Security, you don't have to do anything now. You can apply for retirement benefits anytime between now and age 70, with your monthly check rising the longer you wait. Your benefits generally will begin about three months after you apply.
NOTE: Even though Social Securityâs full retirement age is no longer 65, you should sign up for Medicare three months before your 65th birthday. You can apply on our website at www.socialsecurity.gov.ut, you apply for Medicare at Social Security, and we can give you general information about the Medicare program. Medicare has four parts â¢ Hospital insurance (Part A) helps pay for inpatient care in a hospital or skilled nursing facility (following a hospital stay), some home health care and hospice care.
