Medicare Misconceptions

One misconception is you can get Medicare and Medicare supplements at the age of 62, just like applying for Social Security.

Nope – you can’t do this. You cannot get Medicare and Medicare supplements at the age of 62. Don’t make the mistake of planning your retirement thinking you have those supplements to go along with Social Security. If you do this, you will find yourself stuck between a rock and a hard place.

You are only able to get Medicare and Medicare supplements when you turn 65, no earlier. The problem is people are assuming, without checking, that because they are able to get Social Security at 62, that the same is true for Medicare and Medicare supplements.
