Social Security Report

Q & A

When my spouse becomes eligible for Medicare (six years before me), how does my federal health insurance work in regard to his medical bills? Will Social Security be primary and my insurance pick up the difference in full?

Answer: For him, Medicare will be primary and his Federal Employees Health Benefits coverage secondary. You’ll have to check with your plan to find out if there are any benefits that aren’t covered in full.
