People below the age of 65 with disabilities may qualify for Medicare. Individuals who are recipients of Social Security Disability Insurance must have accessed these benefits for a minimum of 24 months or be afflicted by End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The countdown for Social Security Disability Insurance starts five months subsequent to the confirmation of the disability. Unlike other disability instances, there is no requirement to wait for 24 months to be eligible for Medicare for those with ESRD and ALS.
How do individuals with disabilities sign up for Medicare?
After fulfilling the necessary duration of time, individuals eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance are expected to receive their Medicare card via postal service. Should you not receive your card, or if you have further inquiries, it is advised to reach out to your nearest Social Security office.
