That depends on your circumstances and monthly income. If you qualify for SSI (Supplemental Security Income) in addition to SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance), you will usually also qualify for Medicaid, but the program is state-administered, and each state sets its own guidelines for eligibility.
People on SSDI can receive Medicare (the federal program) approximately two years after the date the Social Security Administration determines you became disabled. This is often earlier than the date your cash benefits were approved. In a few special cases (people with ALS or kidney failure, for example) there is no waiting period.
If your total monthly income falls below a certain percentage of the federal poverty level, the Social Security Administration will pay your premium for Part B (doctors' visits) and typically Part D (medication) insurance, as well.
