Medicare Eligibility

[Winter_123]

I know times have changed so that most women work now but........how does it work in instances where a woman gets married and does not work "outside the home" at all during her life. Would she have to buy into Part A at full cost or does she get some bounce off of her husbands social security credits. How does that work?

This should be the answer:

Will my non-working spouse, who turns 65 before me, get Medicare at age 65?

I see. Thanks.

If they divorce before she enrolls, I gather she could be up the creek, or at least it could get complicated.
