CA Medicare Eligibility

This web page is about CA Medicare eligibility. Medicare is available for several classes of people. If you or your spouse has worked and paid Medicare taxes for a sufficient period of time and you are 65 or older then you should be eligible to receive Medicare Part A without having to pay a premium for it. If neither you nor your spouse paid Medicare taxes for a sufficient period of time and are now 65 years of age then it may be possible for you to buy Medicare Part A. Eligibility for Medicare Part A occurs at age 65, not at retirement. This means that a person could still be working and have Medicare coverage. If a person still has medical coverage from their employer then Medicare coverage would be secondary.

You may be eligible if you have been entitled to Social Security disability benefits or Railroad Retirement Board disability benefits for two years or longer.
