6. If you get Social Security disability, you can also get Medicare early
In general, you can’t take advantage of Medicare benefits if you’re not over 65. However, there’s an exception for disabled American workers who get benefits through Social Security.
More precisely, disabled workers will get Medicare coverage automatically after receiving disability benefits for two years and in specific cases (such as dealing with kidney failure), they can qualify even sooner.
