I thought you could not get medicare at 62. I do know that if you are on disability you HAVE to go to Medicare. Not only does the gov’t require it, but health insurance companies won’t insure you at that point.

You are correct I can not get Medicare until 64 but because I am 62 the feds can take my workers comp claim, for possible future medical costs related to the workers comp claim, if I had qualified for SS disability, which I did not. I was told that when I reached 64 I would be dropped from my health insurance as a primary and it would become a secondary plan because I would be required to have Medicare. My workers comp adjuster said this "taking" only started in the last six months and he just found out about it.
