I’m an active Postal Service employee and am 64 or older on or before January 1, 2025. Will I be required to enroll in Medicare Part B to maintain my PSHB health insurance?  

No. If you are an active Postal Service employee age 64 or older on or before January 1, 2025, you are not required to enroll in Medicare Part B to continue your PSHB health insurance coverage in retirement. This is because you are eligible for an exception to the Medicare Part B enrollment requirement. This exception will also apply to your covered family members.  

While you are not required to enroll in Medicare Part B, you may choose to enroll in Medicare Part B. If you qualify for an exception as an active employee aged 64 or older on or before January 1, 2025, if you enroll in Medicare Part B, you are not required to maintain Part B enrollment to continue your PSHB insurance coverage.
