There are four types of social security benefits - retirement, disability, survivor and SSI (supplemental security income). Retirement and disability benefits are only available to people who worked in jobs covered by social security (for example, most government employees aren't covered by social security but most private sector jobs are). A resident alien can receive survivor benefits as the surviving spouse or child of a covered person. SSI makes payments to disabled, low income people, these benefits are unrelated to employment history. A resident alien can receive SSI, if they qualify. Medicare benefits are also unrelated to employment history. A resident alien that has legally resided for 5 years in the U.S. can receive Medicare benefits

i sell medicare advantage plans, and ive heard it is somewhere around $800/month. that plus the medicare part b premium ($96.40) however im not sure. Yes, the government does pay the carriers around $800 per person, but this amount increases if a senior qualifies for a chronic condition, such as high blood pressure and the a chronic plan is available in the seniors area. The plans receive even more money per person if the senior is on Medicaid, around $1200 per person.
You will need to contact Medicare and submit the claim directly to Medicare yourself.
If your referring to Medicare and Medicaid. It depends on what level of Medicaid you have and what type of service you are attempting to receive. In most circumstances the Medicare & Medicaid recipient will have some share of the cost of their medical care. Depending on how impoverished the individual is, their income, assets, and medical issues all can affect what level of Medicaid the person receives or if they even qualify. This varies substantially from state to state since Medicaid follows broad federal guidelines but is customized by each state to meet the needs of their residents. For just Medicare, yes there is a share of cost the is involved and it can be substantial. Medicare Advantage plans may be of help in controlling the costs but it requires a bit of legwork on the individuals part to weigh the benefits of the different options or to see if one is even of value to them.
Persons under 65 become Medicare eligible after receiving Social Security benefits for 24 months. To receive SSA benefits, a person under age 65 must be "permanently and totally disabled" as defined by SSA.
