Hey, I want to learn more about help for low-income Medicare beneficiaries.
================
Do get Medicare and have a low income and few resources?
Yes, I don't earn very much unfortunately.
In that case your state may pay your Medicare premiums and, in some cases, other Medicare costs for which you are normally responsible such as deductibles and coinsurance.
How do I find out if I'm eligible for that?
To find out if you qualify, you need to contact your state or local welfare office or Medicaid agency.
================
Will do. If I do qualify, when can I expect the benefits to be paid?
Social Security benefits are paid in the month following the month for which they're due. This means that the benefit due for December would be paid to you in January 2019, and so on.
================
Sounds great. Do you have a brochure or something with more information?
For additional information about the program, please go to the Medicare's page.
================
One final question, if I may: will other payments affect my disability benefits somehow?
For this we urge you to refer to the following publications: How Workers ' Compensation And Other Disability Payments May Affect Your Benefit and Windfall Elimination Provision.
