How Veteran Savings Network helps disabled veterans with Medicare

Here's the key point veterans often miss: your VA disability rating does not, by itself, make you eligible for Medicare or change when you should enroll. In most cases, Medicare eligibility comes at age 65, or before 65 if you've received Social Security disability benefits for 24 months, or right away with ALS. You can generally have both VA benefits and Medicare. A licensed agent can help you understand your eligibility and timing so you don't overpay or face a penalty.

• Learn what your VA rating does and doesn't change about Medicare.
• Understand when you become Medicare-eligible.
• See how VA benefits and Medicare can work together.
