You will use your medicare to pay for the medical costs of pregnancy.
The question is, " can you physically and emotionally care for the baby ?"
Yes, if you are receiving Social Security disability payments.
You get medicare soon after your 24th consecutive social security check. Sucks, don't it? If you retire at 62, you'll get it at 64. Unless you are receiving [Social Security] Disability Insurance Benefits, eligibility for all parts of Medicare begins at age 65.
Sixty-five, unless you're receiving Social Security disability.
Once you have been receiving Social Security Disability for 24 months, you can apply for Medicare. Take a look at the Medicare and You 2009 book for details: http://www.medicare.gov/Publications/Pubs/pdf/10050.pdf
Medigap policies are for Medicare beneficiaries. Individuals under age 65 are not eligible for Medicare unless they are receiving Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits.
Yes, after 24 months.
no, absolutely not
Assuming that you have paid Medicare payroll taxes, then you are eligible to join Medicare when you turn 65. You can become covered by Medicare before age 65, if you are considered disabled by Social Security.
The (OASDI) Old Age Survivor and Disability Insurance (FICA) (social security and Medicare taxes) all mean the same tax.
IRA's are not an eligibility factor for Social Security or Medicare. However, they are considered an asset for Medicaid.
After 24 months on Social Security Disability you are eligible for medicare. Actually, at the age of 38 a member of my family who worked for nearly 20 years prior to a permanent medical disablity then became a recipient of Social Security Disability income and was on Medicare within a month. There was no 2 year wait. If a person has not worked enough hours and receives SSI (Supplemental Security Income) they qualify for Medicaid instead of Medicare.
Persons under 65 become Medicare eligible after receiving Social Security benefits for 24 months. To receive SSA benefits, a person under age 65 must be "permanently and totally disabled" as defined by SSA.
