The Request for Employment Information Form
The Request for Employment Information form is used for proof of group health care coverage based on current employment. This information is needed to process your Medicare enrollment application. The employer that provides the group health plan coverage completes the information about your health care coverage and dates of employment.
In order to apply for Medicare in a Special Enrollment Period, you must currently have or previously have had group health plan coverage within the last eight months through your or your spouse's current employment. People with disabilities must have large group health plan coverage based on your, your spouse's, or a family member's current employment.
How to complete the form:
- Retiree completes the first section of the form.
- The employer completes the second section and signs at the bottom.

Medicare Part B Enrollment Application
Who Can Use this Application?
People who are already enrolled in Medicare Part A can use this application to enroll in Medicare Part B.
When Should I Use this Application?
- If you're in your Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) and live in Puerto Rico, you must use this form to apply for Medicare Part B.
- If you're in your IEP and refused or did not sign up for Medicare Part B when you applied, you can use this form to apply for Part B.
- If you want to sign up for Medicare Part B during the General Enrollment Period (GEP) from January 1 – March 31 each year, you can use this form.
- If you refused Medicare Part B during your IEP because you had group health plan (GHP) coverage through your or your spouse's current employment, you may use this form to apply during your eight-month Special Enrollment Period (SEP).
- If you have Medicare due to disability and refused Part B during your IEP because you had group health plan coverage through your, your spouse's, or your family member's current employment, you can use this form to apply.

Note: Your IEP lasts for seven months. It begins three months before your 65th birthday (or 25th month of disability) and ends three months after you reach 65 (or three months after your 25th month of disability).
