Dad hasn't reached his 40 quarters yet to get full Medicare coverage and is 65+. How do I get a hold of a retirement consultant to understand how to plan and support my dad in the long term?
Go to a fiduciary that has an insurance consultant on hand.
how long before he reaches 40 quarters?
This. If he's close I'd recommend delaying retirement.
So are you saying he should register for Medicare after 40 quarters?
Also does MS cover costs to go to a feduciary? I couldn't find something on our benefits site.
With all due respect, he can also work part time at places like Target to make up the 40 quarters. It does not say he has to work full time 40 quarters.
Got to a feduciary or even Charles Schwab would be able to direct you to a person. Did that recently.
