Financial Wellbeing: Understanding Medicare |
October 10 | |
|
Health care costs are typically one of the biggest expenses in our budget. The Medicare federal health insurance program can help to cover some expenses for those over 65 or for certain younger people with disabilities. But what if we want to retire before age 65 or have access to an employer-sponsored health care plan after 65? This class will review how your out-of-pocket expenses may go up or down depending on when you retire and start receiving your Medicare benefits. |

Lastly, we will cover the pros and cons of hiring an attorney, versus doing most of the work yourself. |
