Is an insurance policy part of the Social Security disability benefits package?
Fortunately, a person found disabled by the Social Security Administration is eligible for federal health benefits, which is either Medicare or Medicaid. The criteria is this: A person qualifying for Social Security disability would automatically qualify for Medicare after having received Social Security disability insurance payments for two years. Normally, the Social Security Administration notifies a recipient and gives them the necessary information needed to enroll in Medicare. A disabled person qualifying for Supplemental Security Income is eligible for Medicaid, which is free to eligible recipients. Some states require recipients to apply for the Medicaid benefits, while other states automatically enroll the recipients when they qualify.
