BIG question: If a person's Medicare/Medicaid is totally covered (as in anything not covered by Medicare is paid off by the state's Medicaid) because they're on SSDI, when they reach 65, will their Part B or D require any deductions or a "spend down", where money will be taken out of the SSDI check?
Great news for me and others. I received ssa in July 2021. Birthday just passed on March. I live in the Philippines and I like to know , will I be in rolled automatic. How will I know. Post office isn't like USA. Any advice will help. Thanks Angel
If you're receiving ss before 65 and are covered by a spouse employer health coverage and you want to keep it, how do you stop enrollment of medicare part A&B at 65.
If you are not receiving Social Security Benefits then you will not be signed up for Medicare automatically. You would not need to do anything if you decide to delay enrolling in Medicare. You may want to sign up for Part A only, as it is free for most people and can help supplement your group policy. You can call Social Security to sign up for Part A only and delay Part B. Also, you can't have Medicare and also contribute to an HSA account.
@@USAMedicarePlan If you're already receiving ss benefits before 65, then at 65 you'd be 'automatically' enrolled in Part A&B. Can you decline A&B or just B?
Hi, I got my medicare card last summer (automatically enrolled) why plan A is missed on my card Last week I applied social sec. The worker told me that I have to sign up next year I am 66 and always SSI recipient, what ti do then? Could you please help me? I appreciate it
Your best option is to go in person to the Social Security office near you. We do not have access to your work history or personal records so we cannot advise you on this, but Social Security has all that information for you.
@@USAMedicarePlan Thank you for replying, I have applied in person that seems there is no automatically enrollment for lifetime SSI beneficiaries who never worked in USA,
There is a way to avoid being signed up for Medicare automatically when you're first eligible for it. Your Medicare Card will be mailed to you with instructions to decline Medicare. If you have other Creditable coverage in place, then you may be able to avoid any penalties for not signing up for Medicare when you're first eligible.
Can I decline my Medicare? I just got my card in the mail…I would prefer to continue with Obamacare (or healthcare.gov) because I am paying a very low payment for it..and Medicare (as I understand it) will cost a minimum of 170 something which will be deducted out of my social security retirement check. I really don’t understand why the gov’t is willing to base my premium for insurance on my income (therefore giving me a great premium) but with Medicare they don’t do the same thing. To go from paying $10ish per month to $170ish a month hurts. Please please advise.
Excellent info Shauneen... 👍

That depends on your eligibility application each year. Only the state can determine that for you.
Great video. How does this affect my AHC Mendicare expansion for me and my wife ? My birthday month is October.
Thanks for your informative videos.
If you are referring to Medicaid then you need to call the state.
