Hi,

You will become eligible for Medicare effective with the 25th month of your entitlement to Social Security disability benefits (SSDI).

If you are married now, or you were married in the past for more than 10 years and then divorced, it's possible that you could be eligible for benefits on a spouse's record either now or in the future. For more information, refer to Social Security's website: https://www.ssa.gov/.

Best, Jerry
