One of my clients did not have enough quarters for Part B when he turned 65-because he had worked for the state most of his career. His spouse of over 10 years had the necessary quarters , so he can get his Part B through her. However, she is much younger; she is only 58 years old.
My questions are:
1) how old must the spouse be before he can get Part B through her work credits? ( some say it is age 62)
2) if he waits 4 years for her to turn 62 and then adds Part B, will he be penalized by Medicare for the four years of not purchasing Part B when he turned 65?
