I guess I should have used the word entitled to SSDI rather than qualified. From your posts, it seems clear that you have not yet been entitled to SSDI because the ALJ denied your case.

Answer: Because anyone is denied at an ALJ hearing does not mean they aren't entitled or qualified whichever word you want to use. I will be having a 2nd hearing because it's been proven I did not have a fair hearing. The judge made many, many mistakes as some of them do & the appeals council saw this! ALJ judges aren't gods, they are humans too & can & do make mistakes. I am entitled to a fair hearing as anyone should be. My 2nd lawyer dropped me because of retirement. The first one did because she never contacted anyone, plus she dropped a friend of mine too. I found it strange the very same lawyer took our cases in the first place then dropped us both. She has no idea we know each other. I think she might get a kick back from social security to do this. I can't prove that, but it sure seems awfully strange to me. She shouldn't take the cases in the first place then. (LOL)

The lawyer I had explained if I win I would get medicare immediately but that's besides the point at this time. As for the medicare issue when I reach 65, I thought I would be paying what everyone else did also until a few months ago if I'm never approved. Because I do not have a full 40 quarters I will have to pay increased rates to get it. My statement says I'm entitled to get it but doesn't explain I'll have to pay more. I found this out when viewing some website. I'm disappointed to learn this, but oh well. As for the $200.00 at 62 it does say on my statement I have earned enough credits to qualify for benefits & I would receive this at 62. I will call the social security office tomorrow & ask them if the statement is wrong, or I just don't understand. If I don't get the $200.00 it is not a lot of money anyway, it would be nice to know though so thanks for bringing it up. It does say I've also earned enough credits to qualify for medicare at age 65. Also according to what the social security office told me I would be receiving 3 times more on disability then what the statement says I will get at 66 without being disabled.

I don't expect to be informed regarding the fraud I plan to turn in. I don't need to be informed, & did know they wouldn't contact me. I won't be giving my name to them anyway. I'm positive they will be interested in finding this info out. It's not right what they are doing & that the taxpayers are having to pay for this. Like I said, she is very capable of working more hours & paying for her own health insurance. She's going to get a rude awakening when she finds out they may not give her insurance at all because of pre-exsisting conditions; let her go through what I've had to. I can't work to pay for mine, or have an employer who could put me on their group plan like she has anyway. If she gets put on their group plan she won't have a problem with pre-exsisting stuff. If they don't offer it for their employees maybe she can get her Mother who is hiding money for her to pay it for her.

The place will know it's me regarding them not giving my medical records though & I'm not concerned about that. I will be informed on that one because I'm getting ready to sue them; they are going to wish they'd given them to me. By law they are supposed to, so I'm going to make sure they follow the law, to not only get them for me, but to warn other people of how unethical they are.

No offense, but according to you if someone was turned down, even if you don't know all the circumstances they don't qualify. That is like saying everyone who gets arrested is guilty. That's not true either.
