Yes, you will be automatically signed up for Medicare when you turn 65, so now you have plenty of time to figure out how you wanna cover all the gaps. Medicare, Advantage or Medicare Supplement. Let me know and I can find someone in your area to help you out. 888-817-0446
Q #2 - If you are on SSDI do you lose it if you live internationally for more than 6 months or do you have to travel back to the USA the 6 months? I know you can live internationally and receive your regular social security but I heard there is a 6 months requirement for SSDI? I was thinking maybe SSDI is being confused with SSI possibly...
If I have TriCare4Life, do I need Medicare? Every SS increase, in Jan (COLA), goes directly to the Medicare increase…I may get a $3-$5 actual increase in my check. Is my case that much different?
I just turned a 65 so my current disability switched automatically to Social security. I went with plan G supplement And have dental ,vision , prescription separate. you mentioned something about the HSA That the IRS come after you if you have plan A 😮 No one has talked to me about this and I have standard A and B . Don't know how this HSA Works but I understand I get money from my employer Towards my out-of-pocket expense is how this works I guess. What if anything do I need to do. I am single and low-income. I have a lot of health issues I'm now wondering if I should have gone with plan N Any advice on that as well. Everything that just changed just started May 1st 2024
You can probably still change to a Plan N. At least you should check your options before you're not able to change anymore. Email me your name, phone number, and state, and that you want a quote for Plan N, and I will have someone call you up and give you all your options. Ed@mygovexpert.com
if you are on SSDI for 24 months (before age 65 - say you are age 54) and therefore qualify for Medicare, will you get penalized if you don't take part B at that time, as I heard that the SSA automatically puts you on Medicare once you are at 24 months? In other words, can you take the Part B once you turn 65 instead without being penalized since you were under 65 when you first were on Medicare?
No, unfortunately, you'll be penalized if you don't take it when you're first eligible. If you don't have other insurance from current work, yours, or your spouses
For the employee paying penalties for not signing up for Medicare, who is having trouble proving employer health insurance.....if they have paystubs from the period in question, wouldn't the payroll deductions for health insurance prove coverage? This assumes they have kept paystubs for that period.
I have some questions on income and earnings. Ive worked since I’ve been 10 years old, 10-14 paper rout and various off the books jobs. Then worked at 15. 16 years old at a grocery store, then worked 17 & 18 years as enlisted military. Those earnings don’t appear on my work record 15-18 year old earnings don’t show up is that correct? I’m 60 now and still working. Zero years and some lower income years are dropping off but I wonder about there being no record of earnings from 15-18 years old.
Yeah, that's gonna be hard to prove. I delivered newspapers when I was 15 years old too. And that doesn't show up, so just didn't make enough money to pay FICA taxes probably.
hello Dr. Weir. I am an expat living in Germany. I have private health insurance here and it's awesome actually. Do I need to have ANY type of MEDICARE regardless of my private health insurance in Germany?
same applies to me.... I (65 years old) have universal health insurance provided by Germany. Currently not qualified for medicare (36 credits only). Do I have to pay the penalty next year at age 66, when I have the requires 40 credits for medicare?
