1 Medicare Eligibility and Enrollment SECTION
1. A 64-year-old U.S. citizen is employed full-time and covered under an employer group health plan with more than
20 employees. She asks when she must enroll in Medicare Part B. What is the correct guidance?
A. She must enroll in Part B during her Initial Enrollment Period or face a lifetime penalty regardless of active
employment.
B. She may delay Part B without penalty while covered under active employment group health plan from an employer
with 20+ employees, and enroll later under a Special Enrollment Period.
C. She must enroll in Part B at age 65 and drop her employer coverage entirely.
D. She cannot enroll in Part B until she retires from her current job.
Answer: B Rationale: Individuals actively employed and covered by a group health plan from an employer with 20 or more
employees may delay Part B without penalty and enroll later using a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) that runs while
coverage is active and for up to 8 months after employment or coverage ends.
2. A beneficiary first becomes eligible for Medicare based on a disability at age 50 and continues receiving Social
Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). When is her Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) for Medicare?
A. The IEP begins around the 25th month of SSDI entitlement and lasts 7 months.
B. The IEP begins 3 months before she turns 65.
C. The IEP begins only after she has received SSDI for 5 years.
D. The IEP begins immediately upon SSDI approval with no waiting period.
Answer: A Rationale: For most SSDI recipients, Medicare eligibility begins in the 25th month of disability entitlement. The IEP
spans 7 months: the 3 months before, the month of, and the 3 months after the 25th month of SSDI entitlement.
3. Which statement about the General Enrollment Period (GEP) for Medicare Part B is accurate for the 2026/2027
plan years?
A. The GEP runs only during January through March each year, with coverage starting July 1.
B. The GEP runs January 1 through March 31 each year, with coverage starting the month after enrollment is
processed.
C. The GEP is open year-round with immediate coverage.
D. The GEP runs from October 15 through December 7 each year.
Answer: B Rationale: Since the CMS modernization that took effect in 2023, the GEP runs January 1 through March 31, and
coverage begins the month after the enrollment is processed, removing the prior July 1 delay.
4. A 67-year-old did not enroll in Part B when first eligible and is not covered by any other creditable coverage.
What is the consequence if he enrolls now under the General Enrollment Period?
A. A late enrollment penalty of 10% of the monthly premium for each full 12-month period delayed, added for as long
as he has Part B.
B. No penalty because he is past the IEP.
C. A one-time fixed penalty of $200 regardless of delay duration.
D. A 5% premium penalty that resets after 24 months.
Answer: A Rationale: The Part B late enrollment penalty is 10% of the standard monthly premium for each full 12-month period
the person could have had Part B but did not, and the penalty applies for as long as the individual has Part B.
