Can I have COBRA and Medicare at the same time?

Yes or no.

You can have COBRA and Medicare together if you were already enrolled in Medicare when you become eligible for COBRA. For example, if you’re 67 years old and using a combination of Medicare coverage and coverage from your employer but then retire or scale down to part-time hours, you could be eligible for both COBRA and Medicare.

On the other hand, if you become eligible for Medicare while you’re already enrolled in COBRA, your COBRA coverage will end. So, if you leave your job at age 64 and enroll in COBRA, your COBRA coverage will end when you turn 65 years old and enroll in Medicare.
