SHIBA may be helpful as you make your decision. • You are not penalized for late enrollment if the reason for late enrollment is because you were enrolled in an employer sponsored group health plan. • If you have delayed Part B enrollment, the Social Security Administration will require you bring an employer verification form to our office and the Benefit Office will complete the form verifying your dates of coverage.
