Yes, you can be on Medicare while working.
Many people do postpone going on Medicare if they're still working because they may have group health insurance available to them through their employer.
Self-employed individuals will usually go on Medicare when they turn 65 unless they have group coverage available through their spouse's work.
Some may decide to go on Medicare if they're 65 and still working because they want a more predictable health expense structure and/or want to lower their premiums.
Great question! You can be enrolled in Medicare while you are working. Medicaid is a different story. To be enrolled in Medicaid, you are telling the government that you have no assets, and no money to use to pay for your medical care. There would be a large amount of trouble if they found you were working. Medicare, however, is perfectly fine. Thanks for asking!
