I have the form (CMS-L564E) that I need to fill out and send to my employer to complete.
My question is: Can I complete that form now and send it to my employer (corporate), so that they can complete it -- in advance of my retirement -- then give that completed form to my local Social Security office and set up my enrollment in Medicare Part B (I already have Medicare Part A) so that it starts October 1 -- after I retire and my group health plan has ended?
I realize that they (Social Security) are going to need the end date of my group health plan, in order for me to enroll in Medicare -- but I was hoping I could give them that later.
We don't have an HR person that I can ask.
Can anyone help?
