Common Questions

How Often Will I Meet With My Attorney During My Case?

How long must I wait for my Medicare Card?

You cannot get your Medicare card until after you have been disabled for two years and five months. If you have already been disabled for two years and five months, you should keep track of your medical bills so that these may be submitted later to Social Security if we win.

How long must I wait for Medicaid?

There is no waiting period for Medicaid, but you have to be very poor to qualify for it. You also have to apply specifically for it, unlike Medicare. If you have filed a claim for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) you can probably qualify for Medicaid if you win. You will not likely qualify for Medicaid unless and until you win. If you have filed a claim for Medicaid in the past, keep all of your medical bills in your legal file so that you may later take them to the Department of Social Services to get them paid if you win your Social Security case. If you have applied for Social Security Income (SSI), you should now apply for Medicaid. You can only get Medicaid for three months prior to your first claim for Medicaid.

Where do I apply for Medicaid?

You apply for Medicaid at the County Department of Social Services (not Social Security). They will turn you down, but if we win your Social Security case they will later change this decision and award you back Medicaid benefts.
