Once you're on SSDI, I believe you are automatically eligible for food stamps and Medicaid. If you're on food stamps, you get an Obamaphone.

False. Both Food Stamps and Medicaid are income related. For that matter so is SSI which is not disability.

So does ANYBODY on SSDI get enough to NOT be on food stamps and medicaid?

When you receive Social Security Disability, you are eligible for Medicare two years after the date of your original Application.

There are many people on Medicare who are under the age of 65, and we wonder why it's going broke.
