Why can't i stay on my employers health insurance when i turn 65?
It depends where you live. Some employers do not provide insurance. In some countries if you are working after you are 65 or your spouse is working, you will be entitled for health insurance from employer. You will be eligible for Medicare even if you continue to work after you turn 65. It is important that you decide whether or not to enroll for medicare. You may not need all of Medicare benefits if you are still covered under your employer's plan. You can delay certain parts of Medicare, and get them later on when you retire, or if you lose your employer's insurance. You should make these decisions at least 3 months before your 65th birthday.

If you had active coverage under your group short-term disability or long-term disability plan on November 9, 2007, then you may be eligible for benefits. You will have to find out what insurance company handled your disability benefits during that period of time, and then follow-up with them. Whether you are actually eligible for benefits will depend on the contract your employer had/has with this insurance company. Some contracts have late filing penalties, some have clauses regarding termination of employment, etc. Long story short - call that insurance company. You may be eligible for disability benefits.

My son receives Social Security disability and Medicare. I also carry him as a dependent on my group health insurance through work. Which insurance (group health from my employer or Medicare) is his primary insurance?
In most cases, Medicare is the primary insurance for those who have it and are also covered by other types of insurance, like a group health plan. The group health plan would then typically serve as secondary insurance to cover costs not paid by Medicare. It's best to check with both insurance providers to understand how they coordinate benefits for your son's situation.
