Your Medicare enrollment timing should fit your situation. Work coverage, retirement and Social Security all affect what you need to check.
Whether you can delay Part B depends on your current coverage and employment—not just whether you are still working. Check with your employer and Medicare before delaying; retiree coverage and COBRA generally do not extend your Part B enrollment window. If you do not receive Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, Medicare generally bills you for Part B.
