About this Event

***SPOTLIGHT webinars focus on select, high-priority topics within the 3-Part HR Essentials Series.

Issues surrounding the Aging Workforce have emerged as a major HR focus in recent years.

Content covered in this presentation includes...

• Basics of Medicare Eligibility

• Enrollment Options for Employees

• The 4 Group-to-Medicare Enrollment Pathways

• Details of the Special Enrollment Period (SEP)

• Medicare’s Online Enrollment Portal
