6SLMB Program Eligibility
Two conditions should be met to be eligible for a SLMB program. Firstly, you need to qualify and enroll in Medicare Part A. This means:
– You are at least 65 years old or have a qualifying disability, ALS, or ESRD
– You have worked and paid taxes for Medicare in at least 10 years
Secondly, you must have limited resources and income. The exact amount can vary from year to year and from state to state. You should consult the Medicaid office at your region to learn more about the current limits and requirements for the SLMB program. Keep in mind that you are not necessarily eligible for Medicaid benefits even when you are qualified for an SLMB program. It is because Medicaid requires separate income limits. Even when you do not qualify for Medicaid, you can still receive benefits from an SLMB program. [6]
