Social security attorney orlando, the basics
Q: If you are awarded social security disability benefits, when are you eligible for Medicare? A: You are eligible for Medicare two years after the date social security determined you are entitled for social security disability benefits. Your date of entitlement is the onset date established by social security plus the required waiting period of five months. Your entitlement date is basically when you start collecting your social security disability payments. Add two years to that time and that is when you are eligible for Medicare. If you were awarded social security disability insurance benefits, you will receive Medicare.
