Is There A Waiting Period For Medicare Disability Under 65?

Are you under 65 and wondering if a waiting period applies to your Medicare disability benefits? This video cuts through the confusion to explain the eligibility rules and timelines for accessing Medicare when receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). Understanding your Medicare disability waiting period is crucial. Here's what you need to know: ► Most individuals under 65 receiving SSDI face a standard 24-month waiting period before Medicare coverage begins. ► This waiting period starts after your entitlement to SSDI benefits, not necessarily from the date of disability onset. ► Discover the specific medical conditions, like ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), that allow for exceptions and bypass the standard waiting period. ► Learn about the different parts of Medicare (Part A, Part B) and how they become available once your waiting period is satisfied. #MedicareDisability, #Medicare, #DisabilityBenefits, #Under65Medicare, #SSDI, #WaitingPeriod, #HealthInsurance, #GoldenYearsHealthPlan
