Does a Medicaid Recipient Have to Enroll in Medicare at 65?

[WCMason]

They are ONLY enrolled in Part A automatically at age 65 if they worked for 40 quarters. They have the right to refuse Part B -- they have credible Part B coverage through work, retiree insurance, Tricare.

You got one of three right. Work coverage will allow one to refuse Part B without penalty if it qualifies. Retiree and TriCare will not. And the term is creditable, not credible.

If they aren't drawing Social Security yet I don't think they are auto enrolled in B. I've had several who had to sign up and it's always people that have delayed Social Security income.

That's correct. I missed that part that they weren't drawing SS.

Thank you all for clarifying this for me.
