Between now and 2027, about 4.1 million people will reach age 65, often considered to be a popular retirement age. While many people aspire to retire early, others plan to continue working well past their 65th birthday.

When they begin to think about retirement, workers often turn to their employers for help navigating their options for health care coverage. As an employer, there are things you can do to help them ease their mind and plan for their futures— without overburdening your Human Resources team.
