Steps in Applying
It is essential that your application is filled out accurately and correctly. Any errors on your application can result in you being denied benefits. This is why it is advisable for you to have an attorney help you through this process.
The following steps may be helpful:
- Determine if you are eligible: An attorney or a Medicare representative can help you determine if you are eligible. However, as a general rule, individuals 65 or older are eligible, and if you have a permanent disability, you may be eligible for Medicare before reaching 65.
- Obtain the application: You can get the application for Medicare from the Social Security website, or from your local Social Security office. You may be able to find the location of your nearest Social Security office online.
- Complete and submit your application: Your application will require you to provide personal information and details, such as your address, birthdate and Social Security number. An attorney can help you ensure that your application is filled out correctly. You can submit your application online or in person at your local Social Security office located in Sacramento.
