Hi Larry,
Our disabled adult child (DAC) started collecting SSDI at age 34. She is currently receiving Medicaid, which allows her to attend a special needs program under a Medicaid waiver. She will be eligible for Medicare after being on SSDI for two years (next year at age 36). We don't want to jeopardize the benefits she's receiving under the Medicaid waiver, so we're hesitant to put her on Medicare at that time. Is there a timeframe around her 36th birthday where she is required to enroll in Medicare, or can she enroll in it when she is older without penalty?
