5. Apply for Medicare Benefits
If you turn 65 soon, you should really think about Medicare benefits. Why so? Because the initial enrollment period actually starts 3 months before you turn 65 and ends 3 months after your birthday month.
Also, you should remember that some people who are actually younger than 65 (“those with disabilities and those who have permanent kidney failure”) can apply for Medicare benefits too. Fortunately, the Social Security website offers many pieces of information about Medicare options.
So, if something is unclear, you should definitely check their website.
