Can I get Medicare before 65?

Only through disability-based eligibility after 24 months of SSDI or an automatic-eligibility condition such as ALS or End-Stage Renal Disease—not simply by choice at a younger age.

What happens if I miss my Initial Enrollment Period?

You may face permanent late-enrollment penalties for Medicare Parts B and D unless you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period. The General Enrollment Period may serve as a fallback.

Do I automatically get Medicare if I’m still working at 65?

Not necessarily. If you have qualifying employer coverage, you can generally delay enrollment and use a Special Enrollment Period later without a penalty.

When does coverage start if I enroll during the General Enrollment Period?

Coverage starts the month immediately following your enrollment rather than on the delayed fixed date used under older rules.

How early can I apply for Medicare?

You can apply up to three months before your 65th birthday as part of your seven-month Initial Enrollment Period.
