[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 354732, member: 1514"] Both of the above are true! Medicare comes with SSDI and Medicaid comes with SSI. I dont know the state by state SSI amounts but the Federal SSI amount is somewhere around 663 or so. So if your SSDI is lower than that, you would receive SSI too. This would allow one to receive both Medicare and Medicaid. Its also very helpful in those first few months that you are deemed eligible if you are also found eligible for SSI. (hmmm...think I lost myself some money cause I didnt apply for SSI...lol) Also the medicaid will cover you for those first two years before Medicare kicks in if you dont already have insurance while you are waiting for your disability claim to go through.
