Now for some questions.I want to have direct deposit, do I wait for them to contact me or should I call them to give the information? I am only getting a certain amount a month, and I think it meets the guidelines to have my Medicare, part A I think, waived, how do I go about doing that? I know I've long passed the 2 year waiting list. Anything else I should know? Thanks!

Congradultions on your approval
Yes, you ocan set it up with social security to have direct deposit. It takes a month or two for that to get started . If you want it to go faster to drive down to your local S.S office and talk to them , show them your approval letter, and tell them that is what you what you want to do, and you will need your banking information with you too.
Medicare will mail you information , they will take care of that for you, and you ought to recieve a medicare card in the mail too. YEs, you are correct, since you had to wait 4yrs, this will automatically qualify you for medicare. Depending on your income, either medicare will choose your prescription drug coverage for you, or tell you to choose one, or let you know what your options are . And all that good stuff . Or if your going to have any Medicare premiums to have to worry about .
For example .I did not have any . Medicare pays for all mine, and Medicare pays for my prescriptions, however, I also have medi cal, I think I have a small co-pay , however, do not have to worry about it. Medicare chose my coverage for me. I was lucky enough. I am not married, and a single parent, fell into a certain income bracket .
Fully favorable, some questions
