Because medicare is a government-run thing, and just like everything else that is registered with the government, like birth certificates and military history, medicare requires your personal SSN, which you should do everyting that you can to make sure that no one sees that to steal your identity.
To obtain Medicare premium receipts, you can log into your MyMedicare.gov account, where you can access and print your premium statements. Alternatively, you can contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) at 1-800-772-1213 for assistance, or visit your local SSA office. If you receive your premiums deducted from your Social Security benefits, your annual Social Security statement will also reflect those deductions.
No, but if you are not on Social Security disability, you must be at least 65 years old to enroll.
That's probably the gross amount.
At this time not any more after they stay long enough to retire from the military and receive the retirement pension.
As of July 14, 2010 you do NOT have any type of stimulus check available for the tax year 2010. If you are on medicare and have the medicare part D coverage for your pharmacy purchase and the cost for your medicines arrive at what is called the doughnut hole you should receive a 250 rebate check from medicare to help you through the doughnut hole. The check should arrive about 45 days after medicare see that this has happened to you. If you don't get your rebate check, contact Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE. Individuals receiving Medicare Extra Help will not receive a rebate check.
Because that is the way that you contribute to your social security and medicare insurance coverage and disability insurance that you may receive at a future date.
Absolutely! Congratulations, you old double dipper.
The answer is nothing because if you are 65 and a US resident you are eligible for medicare even if you do not receive social security If you are enrolled in Medicare Part B, your premium is automatically deducted from your social security check. For 2009, if you make less than $85,000.00 per year, $96.40 will be deducted from your social security check. If you make more than $85,000.00 per year, check this publication for the correct deducted amount: http://www.medicare.gov/Publications/Pubs/pdf/10050.pdf
There is no such thing as an SSD card. It is a Social Security Card; this is issued to all US Citizens. If you apply for SSD or SSDI and are eligible for Medical coverage under Medicare, you will also receive a red, white, and blue Medicare Card.
In order to receive Medicare or Medicaid at age 42, you must be "totally and permanently disabled" as defined by Social Security regulations. This is different from your employer's determination of disability. You may receive Medicaid, even if you are not disabled per Social Security regulations, if you have minor dependent child(ren).
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
They should get paid diabilities from our government. Medicare requires that the disabled individual or her/his parent have 40 quarters of earnings credit. In this case, the individual might also be eligible for Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid.
