Guest guest Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Hi... It will be 24 months from the time you started recieving payments. Stan, Seattle, Stormy. [ ] SSDI- Medicare question. I was found disabled in July 2007 and started receiving payments in January 2008. I know there is a 24 month waiting period for Medicare, but will that be in July when I was found disabled, of January when I started receiving payments? Thanks All. Happy Easter!

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I was found disabled in 7/06 and started receiving payments 1/07 and I was eligable for Medicare 1/09. So you should be eligable for Medicare 1/10. Just have to get through this year. > > > > Hi... > > > > It will be 24 months from the time you started recieving payments. > > > > Stan, > > Seattle, Stormy. > > > [ ] SSDI- Medicare question. > > > > > > > > > I was found disabled in July 2007 and started receiving payments in January 2008.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 This is incorrect. It is 24 months from the date you are found disabled so in this case, she will be eligible July 2009. *~ Kami ~* [ ] SSDI- Medicare question.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I filed for disability 05/02. My DOD was found to be 10/97 (Yeah... I know.. Nothing like waiting to file! LOL) I was approved disability in 09/02 and my Medicare was effective immediately because I had already met the 24 month requirement...... I think a call to your local SS office might offer more clarity, ! *~ Kami ~* [ ] SSDI- Medicare question. > > > > > > > > > I was found disabled in July 2007 and started receiving payments in January 2008.
