Green Card holders must:
Live in the U.S. for 5 years as a lawful permanent resident → can satisfy the residency requirement for Medicare enrollment at 65.
10 years/40 work credits → generally determines whether Part A is premium-free.

Plans are insured or covered by a Medicare Advantage (HMO, PPO and PFFS) organization with a Medicare contract and/or a Medicare-approved Part D sponsor. Enrollment in the plan depends on the plan’s contract renewal with Medicare. We do not offer every plan available in your area. Any information we provide is limited to those plans we do offer in your area. Please contact Medicare to get information on all of your options.
