Nope no lawyers and it was not much of a fight, just one form saying that they had to be out of their loving minds.

In order to qualify for Medicare, you need to have been a Social Security disability beneficiary for 24 months. That means that you have been receiving checks. It does not go back to your date of disability, I don't think.

Before age 65, you are eligible for Medicare hospital insurance if you:
  • get Social Security disability benefits and have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's) disease; or
  • have been a Social Security disability beneficiary for 24 months; or
  • have worked long enough in a federal, state, or local government job and you meet the requirements of the Social Security disability program.

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

If that is the case then SSDI may go back to some point and pay your for all the time that you should have been receiving checks. I am not sure of all the regulations that apply to your situation.

not sure how everything is going for you right now but in some states women are ordered to pay alimony for disabled husbands. you might check into that. that might persuade her to keep you on for just a little while.

From the domestic cases I have been through with friends, the disabled person was given coverage for medical. With the plan that they will have to be covered until medicare takes effect, some also had to split the uncovered 50 50.
The spouse did not make that determination, it was agreeable as part of avoding someone else make a ruling, or ordered by the master/judge.

They received alimoney also because of disability.
Good luck,
di
