Understanding Full Retirement Age (FRA)] “First, let’s talk about your Full Retirement Age, or FRA. Depending on when you were born, your FRA could be 66 or 67. This is the age at which you can claim your full Social Security benefits. But there’s something important you need to do before you turn 65.”
The Costly Mistake to Avoid] “Here’s the thing—many seniors forget or delay a crucial step that needs to be completed before they turn 65. What is it? Signing up for Medicare! Missing this deadline can lead to penalties and higher premiums, which could significantly impact your retirement income.”
Why You Need to Act Before 65] “Medicare enrollment begins three months before your 65th birthday and ends three months after. If you miss this window, you may face a lifetime of higher premiums. Plus, if you’re still working and have health insurance through your job, you need to understand how your benefits will change once you hit 65.”
How to Avoid This Mistake] “So, how can you avoid this costly mistake? First, mark your calendar. Make sure you know when your enrollment period begins. Second, educate yourself on the different parts of Medicare—Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D—so you can choose the best options for your situation. Lastly, if you’re unsure, consult a Medicare advisor who can guide you through the process.”
