How Is It Possible For Me To Have Medicare Coverage At Age 60?
I'm receiving widow benefits. I am only 60 yrs old and social security said I can receive Medicare. How is that possible, if you have to be 65 years of age...thank you
Hi. The only way that a person can get Medicare coverage prior to age 65 is if they are receiving some type of disability benefit from Social Security (i.e. Social Security disability (SSDI), Disabled Widows Benefits (DWB), or Disabled Adult Child (DAC)), or if they have end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Therefore, I assume you meet one of those alternatives to the age 65 requirement for Medicare.
Best, Jerry
