WORKSHOP: Medicare Basics

What are my Medicare health plan options? Are there penalties for not taking Medicare at 65? Do I have to make a certain income?  It’s important to be educated on the answers to these and many other questions, which is why Hawai‘i Community Federal Credit Union (HCFCU) is hosting “Medicare 101,” on Saturday, Oct. 20, 2018, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
