If I am reading this right, I don't think that is correct Faith. You don't need to have been receiving checks for 2 years if when you are approved for SSDI they recognize that your date of disability was at least 2 years prior.
I was approved for SSDI last month and have not started getting checks yet. My disability began in 2004. I got my medicare card in the mail today
