Medicare Eligibility for People Under 65 With Disabilities
Medicare provides healthcare coverage for individuals under 65 with disabilities through three main pathways: receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for 24 months, being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or being diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Eligibility also involves programs like SSDI and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), administered by the Social Security Administration, and the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) for railroad workers.
