Medical and Prescription Drug Coverage
There are many medical benefits that cover under SSDI. No matter how old you are, 24 months after you start receiving cash benefits, you are eligible for Medicare. It includes both hospital insurance and medical insurance.
Long Term Disability Coverage
Your long term disability lawyers must tell you about this type of coverage. If you already have private long-term disability insurance, your insurance provider requires you to get SSDI. It would help you to protect your inability to receive long term disability income.
