I’m fortunate to have two seasonal residences. When I signed up for Medicare yesterday I provided my permanent address. Today I received the approval letter via email. This got me thinking about my Medicare card. I am not currently at my permanent address and have a USPS temporary address change in place. I did some web/AI research and learned that a Medicare card will not be forwarded. I then called Medicare and they confirmed that it will not be forwarded to the temporary address. On the phone I was given the following options:

1. Change my address on SSA.gov or at an SSA office.

QUESTIONS about option 1 - Am I already too late to do this? And then once I receive my card do I have to change the address back to my permanent address? How often does Medicare send things in the mail? Are there any consequences about a “return to sender” Medicare card mailing?

2. Go to Medicare.gov and print my card.

QUESTIONS about option 2 - How long after being approved do I have to wait to do this? I tried linking my SSA.gov login to Medicare.gov but I received a message stating that there was no Medicare record for me yet.

3. Go to an SSA office and get an entitlement letter.

QUESTIONS about option 3 - You mean the SSA office can’t give me a replacement card?

Thanks in advance for the help.

In an era when casinos/resorts are monetizing EVERYTHING why is it so hard to find used casino dice and playing cards? The last four places I’ve been (Resorts World, Fontainebleau, GVR, M) do not make used dice and cards available for purchase. Anyone know why? When I ask the pit bosses they have no clue.
