The amount of the monthly disability benefit is based on the individual's employment history. The longer the individual worked and the higher the wage/salary, the higher the benefit. Two years after disability is approved, Medicare goes into effect. Keep in mind that the actual disability determination dates the approval back to the start of the disability, so the time between approval and the start of Medicare coverage is often 0-18 months.
