Medicare is our countryâs health insurance program for people age 65 or older. Certain people younger than age 65 can qualify for Medicare, too, including those with disabilities and those who have permanent kidney failure. Read our Medicare Publication.
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.
