When will I be eligible for medicare if social security determines that I am disabled?
You become eligible for medicare twenty four months after the first month that you are due a social security disability benefit. If it takes twelve months to win your social security disability claim you may be eligible for medicare when the favorable decision is issued provided that social security finds that your disability began seventeen months prior to the month that you applied for disability benefits. Social Security does not pay a disability benefit for the first five months following the onset of disability so the earliest that someone can receive medicare due to disability is the 29th month after the disability began.
