What if my client is incarcerated and turns 65 and misses their Medicare Initial Enrollment Period?

A Special Enrollment Period (SEP) is available for formerly incarcerated people who did not enroll in premium-free Part A or Part B because they were incarcerated. To be eligible for this SEP, individuals need to demonstrate they are eligible for Medicare, that they did not enroll in Medicare Part A or B during the Initial Enrollment Period because they were incarcerated, and have proof that they were released from custody on or after January 1, 2023. The SEP begins the day the client was released from incarceration and ends the last day of the twelfth month after the client was released from incarceration.
