But it's still a lot less than the paychecks I used to make, and to have to pay $550 a month cobra each & every month will be very tough. This has been a bad years for medical expenses.

Are you saying the SSDI income won't happen for 2 years, or the health insurance coverage, or both?

After being approved for disability, SSDI, I believe you become eligible for Medicare after receiving benefits for two years. The way I understand it, the two years includes the time period of back pay. I have not been approved so I am only going by what I have read and what I have been told. My information is not from personal experience.
