You'll learn when non-United States (U.S.) citizens, who move from other countries to the U.S. may qualify to get Medicare coverage.

You'll help people who are eligible for enrollment know if it'll be automatic for them, and inform them about the decisions they may need to make based on their circumstances.

If you delayed enrollment in Medicare because you were still working at age 65 and you aren't getting Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, you should be aware of how that decision can impact your enrollment and timing for Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap), Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage (Part D), and Medicare Advantage (Part C).
