Justice in Aging Issue Brief: Older Immigrants and Medicare
Justice in Aging has released an issue brief, "Older Immigrants and Medicare," that discusses Medicare policies and practices most relevant to older immigrants.
Enrolling in the Medicare program and accessing its benefits can be complex and is often confusing for older adults, and can be more so for older immigrants.
This issue brief aims to assist advocates working with older immigrants who may qualify for Medicare, including:
- Eligibility and enrollment, with particular attention to rules affecting non-citizens
- Help paying for coverage
- Post-enrollment issues
The brief also includes numerous hypothetical examples.
