7How to Enroll in a SLMB Program
If you are eligible for a SLMB program, following these simple steps to enroll:
– Contact and set up an in-person appointment with the Medicaid office in your state. You can also send an online application
– Gather the necessary documents, typically including Social Security card, Medicare card, proof of citizenship, proof of income, proof of address, and bank statements that list your assets
– Within 45 days of application, wait for a mail notice that informs the application status
– If your application is approved, your premium for Medicare Part B will be covered by Medicaid. If it is denied, you can challenge the decision by asking for a hearing
– Check your account to make sure Social Security does not charge you the premium any more [7]
