Delaware Insurance Commissioner Trinidad Navarro is alerting Medicare recipients across the First State about enhanced protections and additional enrollment options now available to them.
The expanded benefits come through Senate Bill 71, legislation that became law on September 3rd and took effect earlier this year. The new law establishes what’s known as Delaware’s Medicare “Birthday Rule” along with other enrollment safeguards for beneficiaries.
Commissioner Navarro’s office issued the reminder on May 13, 2026, emphasizing that Medicare participants should be aware of their broadened rights under the updated regulations.
The legislation represents a significant change in how Medicare enrollment works for Delaware residents, providing them with additional flexibility and protection options that weren’t previously available.
