Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Hi All I was approved for Soc Sec disability in Sept. Those of you who met me in Orlando may remember I was so scared I would not be approved. Anyway, I was told that I could not get Medicare until I am on SS dis for 2 years. My employer ins runs out at the end of this month. My husband has been unemployed since July so I cannot get on his ins. Anyway, all my " meaning well " friends and family keep telling me about people they know that got medicare right away w disability. As I understand it, unless you have renal failure or Lou Gehrigs disease, the wait is 2 years. I cannot get medicaid because I have over $3,000 in assets. Since I learn more on this website than anywhere else, I figured I would ask the experts. Am I missing something about Medicare?
