SHIIP, the Seniors' Health Insurance Information Program, is part of the N.C. Department of Insurance and can help people who have questions about the process. The Initial Enrollment Period is the period of time an individual has to sign up for Medicare when they first become eligible—usually at age 65. This period is three months before you turn 65, the month you turn 65 and three months after you turn 65. However, if you didn't sign up when you were first eligible for Medicare, it's not too late to enroll now! You have the opportunity to sign up during the General Enrollment Period that runs each year between Jan. 1 and March 31. If you enroll during the General Enrollment Period, your coverage will begin on July 1. Keep in mind, you may be charged a late enrollment penalty and have to pay a higher premium for Medicare Part A, Part B or both. If you didn't sign up for Medicare Parts A and/or B during your Initial Enrollment but had a group health plan based on current employment, a Special Enrollment Period is avail- able to you. The Special Enrollment Period runs eight months starting on the month after employment ends or on the month the group health plan based on current employment ends, whichever occurs first. Usually, there is no late enrollment penalty if you sign up during a Special Enrollment Period. It is important to note that COBRA and retiree health plans are not considered coverage based on current employment, and beneficiaries of those plans are not eligible for a Special Enrollment Period when that coverage ends. Of course, there are other things to consider when determining your Medicare options. SHIIP has created a handout to help you navigate the Medicare system and initial enroll- ment process. The handout, "The Road to Medicare," outlines the decisions you will need to make and what options are available through the Medicare system. You can obtain a free copy of "The Road to Medicare" on SHIIP's website at http://www.ncdoi.com/_Publications/ Road%20to%20Medicare_(Packs%20of%2050)_SVCP_SDSSP_SNE1_10.pdf. If you have questions about enrollment or any other Medicare issues, you can talk to a SHIIP counselor in person or over the phone. Trained SHIIP volunteers are available for one-on-one sessions in all 100 counties in North Carolina. To learn more, call SHIIP's toll- free call center at 1-800-443-9354 or visit www.ncshiip.com. Fast-tracking Disability Decisions for Vets with 100% Permanent and Total Rating Carolyn W. Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, today announced the launch of a new disability process to expedite disability claims filed by veterans with a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability compensation rating of 100% Permanent & Total (P&T). Under the new process, Social Security will treat these veterans' applica- tions as high priority and issue expedited decisions, similar to the way the agency currently handles disability claims from Wounded Warriors. "We have reached another milestone for those who have sacrificed so much for our country and this process ensures they will get the benefits they need quickly," said Acting Commissioner Colvin. "While we can never fully repay them for their sacrifices, we can be sure we provide them with the quality of service that they deserve. This initiative is truly a lifeline for those who need it most." "No one wants to put America's veterans through a bureaucratic runaround," said Maryland Congressman John Sarbanes, a leading proponent for increasing assistance to veterans. "As the baby boomer generation ages and more veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan need care, this common sense change will help reduce backlogs and cut through unnecessary red tape so that our most disabled veterans receive the benefits they've earned." In order to receive the expedited service, veterans must tell Social Security they have a VA disability compensation rating of 100% P&T and show proof of their disability rating with their VA Notification Letter. The VA rating only expedites Social Security disability claims processing and does not guarantee an approval for Social Security disability benefits. These veterans must still meet the strict eligibility requirements for a disability allowance. For information about this service, please visit www.socialsecurity.gov/pgm/disability- pt.htm.
