Effectively, yes. Even if you have other health insurance, Medicare requires that they become the first payer, and your other insurance becomes secondary. It is possible, but cost-prohibitive, to decline Medicare coverage.
It means that the person is not eligible for Railroad Benefits
When you apply for social security at the age of 62, you are not going to be able to get your full retirement amount. You are also not eligible for Medicare at this age.
Retirement benefits, such as pension or Social Security payments, are generally considered earned income because they are often a result of a person's work experience and contributions throughout their career.
Medicare is a separate program from Social Security, and yes, you should enroll at age 65 even if you are still working and not yet drawing retirement benefits.Please note that enrollment is not automatic; you have to sign up for Medicare either online, by mail or at your local Social Security field office.You are strongly encouraged to apply as soon as you become eligible because you may have to pay a higher monthly premium if you wait too long.Additional Information Per DiscussionIf a person is already receiving Social Security benefits (which the question clearly states is not the case), enrollment in Medicare Part A (hospitalization insurance) typically would be automatic.When a person becomes eligible for Medicare at age 65, but is not yet retired, he or she has to make an active choice to enroll in Medicare. The enrollment period begins three months before the month of the person's 65th birthday and continues for 3 months afterward. If the person neglects to enroll during the seven-month window, he or she has to wait for a future general enrollment period (January-March) to join.All Medicare Part A recipients have a choice whether to enroll in Medicare Part B (doctors' visits and outpatient) or C (Advantage comprehensive plans), or opt out due to alternate coverage (or for whatever reason). If the person doesn't intentionally sign up, the default would be to opt out.People who sign up for Part B prior to retirement receive a bill for premiums.Medicare Part D (prescription drug) coverage is available after retirement. If you are on Medicare Part A or Part B, you can buy a Part D policy at retirement or later, during an open-enrollment period (November-December). Delayed enrollment may result in higher premiums.People with Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage) often receive drug coverage through their Advantage plans.Medicare Part A (hospital coverage) is available "free" because we pay for it in advance through FICA contributions during our working years. Nevertheless, a person who is not receiving Social Security retirement benefits must still enroll in Part A, even though there is no cost of enrollment.As stated above, Medicare Part B or C, if elected, is billed to the recipient. The premiums can be deducted automatically from cash retirement benefits only after the person retires.For more information, see Sources and Related Links, below.
Retirement in the US is an option rather than a law. A person who reaches retirement age may stop working and live off their available retirement funds; however, they are not required to stop working.
A retiree refers to an individual who has stopped working and has retired from their occupation. They are typically of retirement age and are no longer actively employed. Retirees often receive a pension or other forms of retirement income to support themselves during their retirement years.
Yes, one can have SSI and AARP at the same time. A person might collect social security benefits including Medicare and could have AARP as a secondary insurance with those Medicare benefits.
Social Security Disability (SSDI) benefits automatically convert to retirement benefits at the same rate of pay when the person reaches full retirement age. There is no increase in benefits or additional payment at retirement, only a change in administrative status and loss of earned-income restrictions. For people born before 1943, full retirement age is 65; for those born between 1943 and 1954, the age is 66; for those born between 1955 and 1960 and later, the age gradually increases to 67.

There are four types of social security benefits - retirement, disability, survivor and SSI (supplemental security income). Retirement and disability benefits are only available to people who worked in jobs covered by social security (for example, most government employees aren't covered by social security but most private sector jobs are). A resident alien can receive survivor benefits as the surviving spouse or child of a covered person. SSI makes payments to disabled, low income people, these benefits are unrelated to employment history. A resident alien can receive SSI, if they qualify. Medicare benefits are also unrelated to employment history. A resident alien that has legally resided for 5 years in the U.S. can receive Medicare benefits
A secondary beneficiary is a person who would receive the benefits of a life insurance policy or retirement plan in the event that the insured person dies and the primary beneficiary has also passed away. Then, the secondary beneficiary would receive the benefits.
