Medicare and Social Security Disability

Enroll when you are ready

You typically become eligible for Medicare when you turn 65. However, if you continue working at Gulfstream, and remain covered on a Gulfstream medical plan, you can temporarily waive your enrollment in Medicare coverage (part A and B). When you’re ready to enroll in Medicare, contact the General Dynamics Service Center at 888-432-3633 to have a proof of coverage form completed.

Automatic enrollment

You will automatically be enrolled in Medicare Part A when you begin collecting Social Security.

Ineligible for HSA
