This was explained to me. I used to be a Government employee years ago. MQGE is the correct abbreviation. During these jobs, I payed into Medicare but not disability. So I qualified to get Medicare for the disabled but not SSDI payments. This is bad because I got a letter this morning saying I...

My award letter that I got just last month clearly says I'm getting Supplemental Security Income and I will continue to get my Medicaid. I am protesting I should have never been enrolled in Medicare. I cannot afford medication copays and this is unjust.

And I've looked up the laws, someone not on SSDI and under 65 on SSI should be getting Medicaid, not Medicare. All the advice I've been getting is to "get help" with the copays but why should I be in this situation when up until now my meds were free? Medicare says there would be "consequences"...

I am going to be dual enrolled in Medicaid/Medicare, from what I understand I have to pay copays on my meds under that condition. And I have a mental illness severe enough I keep ending up in paych wards and they say I can't work but I was trying for a part time job because I'm getting tired of...

Michigan I have been receiving SSI since 2010. I do not have enough work credits to receive SSDI. I have had the Medicaid that goes along with it for just as long. Anyway I get a couple of letters in the mail today, one saying I've been enrolled in Medicare and the other saying I can enroll in...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan Basically I just got rewarded SSI, but one of the local jobs I applied for before I found out about this wants to interview me. It's a full time job that exceeds the gainful employment limits but there's a weird twist: It's a job that...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan I will keep you posted on this since I am suppose to find out more tomorrow. Anyway, on Monday a lady from my local Social Security office was like "I just got word back that the medical people approved your case for disability! We will...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan I used to get SSI as a kid for ADHD/Severely Emotionally Impaired. Then I got cut off when I went to college. I tried several jobs after college, all temporary and internships. The first one, my boss suggested I might need depression...
