Health Insurance Reminder

Attaining Age 65 Once Retired? 

If you are retired with health insurance through SHBP, you must enroll in only Medicare Part A and Part B three months prior to attaining age 65.  This should be completed through a local Social Security office.  You must contact SHBP/ADP (1-800-610-1863) 31 days prior to the first of the month in which you turn 65 to elect a Medicare Advantage Plan for anyone on your plan age 65 or on Medicare due to disability.  Failure to do so will result in increased monthly premiums.  

Disabled Once Retired? 

Please visit your local Social Security office.
