I Am Disabled When Do I Get Medicare? 
Disabled individuals may qualify for Medicare subject to certain conditions . You must meet the Social Security definition of disability and , in most cases , have received SSDI checks for 2 years . Specific medical conditions , such as ESRD -LRB- end stage renal disease -RRB- may qualify you for immediate Medicare benefits . Medicare Advantage plans will not offer coverage if you have ESRD .
