Guest guest Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hi Joyce, As an fyi, we transplanted a 19 year old 2 years ago that had enough work credits to have Medicare on his own. I also had a patient listed who was 20 that also had enough work credits. There is a chart on the SSA web site that shows the # of credits and age. As far as the other answer that it would dilute their SS benefit, I am sure that is on the website too and also you can email basic questions and they will respond.

Of course, he never worked long enough to pay into SS. He needs a kidney tx. His parents won't allow him to apply for Medicare and draw from their SS.. Both parents say, if pt draws from their benefits it will reduce their social security retirement income. Could someone please direct where to find out if their concerns are warranted? Thanks.
