I am disabled and want to qualify for food stamps

To qualify for help with your Medicare premium, you must have a household income below 135% of the federal poverty level. For example, in 2023, a single person with no dependents must have a household income below $1,646 per month to qualify for help with your Medicare premium.

You can apply for food stamps and help with your Medicare premium by contacting your state’s Department of Human Services. You can also apply online at www.fns.usda.gov/snap/apply.

If you are not sure if you qualify for food stamps or help with your Medicare premium, you can contact your state’s Department of Human Services or the Social Security Administration for more information.

Here are some additional things to consider:

• If you are receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you may be automatically eligible for food stamps and help with your Medicare premium.
• If you have a disability, you may be eligible for food stamps and help with your Medicare premium even if your income is above the normal eligibility limits.
• If you are pregnant, you may be eligible for food stamps and help with your Medicare premium even if your income is above the normal eligibility limits.

If you are not sure if you qualify for food stamps or help with your Medicare premium, you should contact your state’s Department of Human Services to find out more.
