Turning 65 next year
You should participate in the UC’s annual Open Enrollment and enroll in the UC Blue & Gold plan, which is the partner plan, then transition to UC Medicare Choice, typically the first of the month of your 65th birthday.
For more information, visit UCNet or the Turning 65 page.
- If you are eligible for Medicare premium-free Part A, UC requires that you enroll in both Part A and B, and transition to the Medicare version or the partner plan of your UC medical plan when you turn 65.
- Three months before to your 65th birthday, you should receive information from UC about enrolling into Medicare and the required UC’s Medicare assignment UBEN 121 form. Form should be received by UC’s Retirement Administration Service Center (RASC) no more than 90 days before or no later than one month to your 65th birthday, to avoid delay in your enrollment into UC Medicare Choice.
