Medicare Eligibility and Your Social Security Disability Benefits

Did You Know Medicare Eligibility is One of the Most Important Benefits in Receiving Social Security Disability?
You become eligible for Medicare coverage 24 months after the Social Security Administration finds that you are entitled to monthly Social Security Disability benefits. It doesn’t matter how old you are! Medicare is a federally funded health insurance program for people age 65 and older as well as those with disability. As a Social Security Disability beneficiary you become automatically eligible for Medicare after a 24 month waiting period.

The longer you delay in applying for Social Security Disability benefits, the longer you may go without health insurance coverage.
