SSDI is social security income for those who have a history of
employment and provides benefits to widow/er and children of insured workers.
SSDI amount is based on the earnings history of wage earner, age when benefits
began. Additionally, an individual is eligible for Medicare (parts A and B) 24
months after qualifying for SSDI. Medicare A will pay for Doctor visits, some
home health care and durable medical equipment. Medicare part B will pay for
hospital costs. Medicare does not provide prescription coverage. There is a
monthly premium deducted from the SSDI check for Medicare parts A and B. If an
individual also qualifies for Medicaid, this will pay the premium. SSA provides benefits under two programs: Social Security
and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). SSI benefits are paid to those who
qualify as aged (65 or older), blind or disabled. Social Security benefits may
be paid to those who have retired or become bing or disabled and their
qualifying spouses and children. Deceased persons’ spouses or children may also
qualify for benefits. Social Security provides Medicare to those who have
received disability benefits for two years or who are 65 years old.<o:p></o:p>
