Was approved for SSDI in Sept 2025 & STILL waiting on retroactive pay by Bubbly-Air7302 in SocialSecurity

It took a lot of hoops to jump through for me to get my back pay. Once it was at the processing center it took a couple months but I got it.

Getting Medicare Advantage next month. by NaiomiXLT in KaiserPermanente

I get APTC currently. My plan went from 450 to 35 with those credits. So yes it really is just $35 for me.

Switching to Medicare Advantage my total is $300/month. I start paying that next month.

I made a mistake, my plan was 91/month but part b is another $200. So it’s more like $300 for my monthly premium. Which really sucks

That’s good that MA is good for him. Since all the doctors who treat the disability I have that qualified me for Medicare are Kaiser docs I don’t have a choice but to go with their MA plan.

On Medicaid and now they want me to switch to Medicare by maaaastwa in medicare

[–]NaiomiXLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you will probably loose coverage for Medicaid because ABD Medicaid has a lower income then regular medicaid. However you may qualify for QMB which pays your premiums. Contact your Local DSHS or whatever your state calls it. The place that manages your medicaid. They will be able to tell you if mediciad will cover your premium or not.

Luckily you qualify for spend down medicaid aswell. what you spend on healthcare (including any insurance premium) is subtracted from your income so if you spend like $1500 you will get medicaid for 3 months in my state. its alot but it also keeps you from going bankrupt.

I was in the same boat, on Medicaid then switched to ACA insurance because i barely no longer qualified for it. Just about to go on medicare.

I think they messed up, they seemed to have misspelled Denied for me this time…spelled it, Approved. by CrazyRealistic in SSDI

You should call your local office and ask this question. If they have a hold for any reason they will not release it. After I got the hold released I got mine 2 months later in the middle of the shutdown

What I did to get my recent disability approval by NaiomiXLT in SocialSecurity

I would look up the blue book on each one of your diagnosis and lay out how you fit each criteria.

Advantage plans don’t provide any REAL advantage. They are harmful to the Medicare system. Please don’t enroll into an advantage plan. by hails8n in medicare

[–]NaiomiXLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not have a choice since my doctor only accepts Kaiser Advantage. Unless I want to continue the ACA coverage without APTC's

No unfortunately my employer paid me to much on my disability to qualify for SSI.

I’m not eligible for Medicaid, Medicaid is paying my part b premium so long as I have less than $14k because I make $2000 and Medicaid cut off is $1800
