Social Security Programs and Other Financial Resources
Supplemental Security (SSI)
You need to apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) by calling 800-772-1213. This program guarantees a minimum monthly income if you are over 65, blind, or disabled for 12 months or longer and determined to have limited income and resources. The Social Security officer will arrange a telephone interview with your local Social Security district office. After you have completed your telephone interview, the Social Security worker will mail you a "Disability Report" which you will need to complete and return. Pennsylvania provides Medicaid coverage when you qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), but you must apply for Medicaid separately.
Supplemental Security Disability (SSDI)
You need to apply for Supplemental Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) by calling 800-772- 1213. This program may provide you with a monthly cash benefit if you are considered disabled for 12 months or longer and have earned enough work credits. Your monthly payment is based on your age, years of employment and salary. The Social Security Officer will arrange a telephone interview with your local Social Security District office. After completing your telephone interview with the Social Security worker, they will send you a copy of the information that you provided. If you remain on Supplemental Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for 24 months, you will qualify for Medicare beginning the 25th month.
Medicare
Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people 65 or older, people of any age with permanent kidney failure, and certain disabled people. Local Social Security Administration offices take applications for Medicare and provide information about the program. Medicare has several parts - hospital insurance, medical insurance, and prescription coverage. Hospital insurance helps pay for inpatient hospital care and certain follow-up care. Medical insurance helps pay for your doctor's services and many other medical services and items. Prescription coverage helps pay for costs of medications you may need.
Medical Assistance (Medicaid)
In Pennsylvania, Medical Assistance is administered by the Department of Public Welfare (DPW) and county assistance offices who conduct eligibility determinations and recertifications. In order to be eligible for the program individuals must:
1. fit into a specified coverage group
2. meet the income requirements for that specific coverage group (these income limits are usually specified in terms of a certain percentage of the federal poverty level)
3. meet the asset requirements for that specific coverage group
4. be a United States citizen or a qualified lawful alien
5. be a Pennsylvania resident
