if they were actually of Medicare age....65...would they still have to deduct more from their disability?...or is it just because they’re relative young?....I have relatives that are on disability but their older....wonder if it will affect them too....
Good question. I don’t know. My mom is on Medicare and she has a supplemental insurance as a back up for catastrophic care. She lost 3 of her doctor’s due to ACA coming into effect because her doctors went off the exchange and petitioned the government to be taken off of ACA so they could keep their old patients who have been seeing them for decades. The government review board says a decision will be made 6 to 12 months from submission of request.
My mom is 71 and her doctors are some of the most important people in her life. Again, that’s just Medicare...not disability in her case.
“if they were actually of Medicare age....65...would they still have to deduct more from their disability?...or is it just because they’re relative young?....I have relatives that are on disability but their older....wonder if it will affect them too....”
I’m pretty sure about this, because I’ve been involved it it for decades.
Once a person that is on SS disability reaches 65, they go off SS disability and on regular SS. The person that is SS disability under the age of 65 is eligible for medicare. Their medicare doesn’t change once they reach 65.
As I understand it, people on SS and medicare are not eligible for obamacare.
I know this because my spouse was on SS disability prior to her 65th birthday. Now she is not...
