Medicare is not collected, like Social Security, but instead it is medical coverage that begins when an individual turns 65, or when an individual is under 65 and has been receiving disability premiums for 24 months.

∙ 13y agoThere is multiple scenarios that make you eligible for Medicare:
1)When you turn 65 and you or your spouse has worked and paid Medicare taxes for at least 40 quarters or ten years
2)If you are under 65 and have become permanently disabled and have been receiving disability benefits for 24 months
3)If you have ALS aka Lou Gehrig's Disease you are eligible the first month you receive disability benefits.
When you first become eligible you then have an Initial Coverage Election Period known as ICEP which lasts for 7 months (three months before you become eligible, the month of eligibility, and three months after) during which time you can review your various enrollment choices or stay with Original Medicare.
