Are You Automatically Enrolled in Medicare?

Most people who get Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits are automatically enrolled in Medicare when they turn 65. 

You are usually automatically enrolled in Medicare if you receive disability benefits via Social Security, that usually happens only after 24 months of disability benefits. There are some exceptions to this rule, so it's important to check on your benefits as you approach retirement age if you're counting on Medicare to kick in.
