Step 1


En español | For more than 55 years, Medicare has provided health insurance to Americans 65 and older as well as to people with disabilities. But qualifying for the program is not automatic. Here’s how to determine if you are eligible.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     


You’re 65 or older.
You qualify for full Medicare benefits if:

You are a U.S. citizen or a permanent legal resident who has lived in the United States for at least five years and
You are receiving Social Security or railroad retirement benefits or have worked long enough to be eligible for those benefits but are not yet collecting them.
You or your spouse is a government employee or retiree who has not paid into Social Security but has paid Medicare payroll taxes while working.
