BENES 2.0 Act
HR 4960 (BENES 2.0 Act) requires Social Security to include clear Medicare eligibility information in annual statements mailed to individuals reaching ages 60-65. The notice must explain enrollment rules, late penalties, relief options, and special considerations for veterans and Puerto Rico residents, with practical examples. Statements will be mailed 6 months before age 65 and updated every 2 years based on stakeholder feedback. This directly affects all Americans approaching Medicare eligibility through Social Security.
