QUESTION:
Where to obtain form to defer medicare when employer provides coverage
My employer provides health coverage. I will continue to work after age 65. I need to obtain form for my employer to sign and certify that I currently have health coverage. Where do I find this form and where do I send it? Do I use certified mail?

From Medicare.gov: Even if you keep working after you turn 65, you should sign up for Medicare Part A. If you have health coverage through your employer or union, Part A may still help pay some of the costs not covered by your group health plan. Call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 to sign up. However, you may want to wait to sign up for Medicare Part B if you or your spouse are working and have group health coverage through you or your spouse's employer or union. (See note below if you work for a small company.) However, you can defer Medicare Part B.
