I’m turning 65, what do I need to do?
If you are still an employee of the District:
- Your SPS insurance will remain your primary insurance (Medicare would be secondary in most cases) as long as you are still a benefitted employee
If you are a retiree:
- You may want to contact the Social Security Office and visit with their Medicare Representative.
- You may continue to purchase SPS insurance (at the same rate) as your secondary insurance. Feel free to contact the Benefits Office for clarification between secondary and supplementary insurance.
