Postal Service retirees were never required to enroll in Medicare to continue their federal retiree plans past age 65. If they did want to enroll later, they would incur the same 10% penalty that non-PS workers receive. A one-time SEP is being given to them that will last from 4/1-9/30 for those who didn’t enroll in Medicare to apply for a 1/1/25 effective date. The PSHB program will pay for their LEP. They do not have to enroll into their Part B, but have the option to.
