Applying for Medicare? Persons getting close to the age of 65 who are not already receiving Social Security bene fits should contact a Social Secu rity office at least two months before their birthday. By doing so, you'll make sure you'll have your Medicare protection the ex act month you reach 65. Even if you're not retiring, you should still contact the Social Security office. Medicare is available to people who continue to work past the age of 65. If you don't apply before the month you reach 65, your Medicare insurance could be delayed for up to three months. More importantly, if you fail to apply within three months after your birthday month, -medical insurance coverage may be de layed for as long as a year and your monthly premiums could be higher than anticipated. When you apply for Medicare, save time by taking the following documents to the Social Security ce on your initial visit: a Social Security card; proof of age, preferably a birth cer tificate; and W-2 form or self- emplovment tax return from the previous year A sneak preview for next summer's dresses reveals they'll be light and breezy with ruffles and full or flaired skirts. / ABOUT YOUR i "5 Politeness is a virtue that seems to be on the wane these days.
