Medicare Part B Enrollment Reminder.
The transition from active employment to retired status can present challenges. One of these
challenges is deciding when to enroll for Medicare Part B coverage.
This notice is intended to assist participants as they transition from an active employee covered by the 49ers
Plan, to an early retiree covered under the Retiree portion of that Plan, and finally, to a Medicare enrollee also
covered by a supplemental plan offered through the 49ers Plan. The notice serves as a reminder of the
requirements of the Plan, as well as Medicare, during this transition process.
In general, you should enroll in Medicare Part B when you are first entitled to do so. Click here for more information.
The Medicare Part B Enrollment also applies to those participants who are on Medicare due to a disability.
