Failed second interview for US Citizenship.

Well she is Medicare age and a lot of this is State dependent as far as subsidies  are concerned and I did not think any of them took I 864 into account. Perhaps SC is the exception.

 

For Medicaid some Stats such as California allow LPR's to sign up as soon as they arrive, Colorado you need to be a LPR for 5 years, this seems to be more common.

 

Medicare for Seniors is an earned benefit for most, once you hit 65 you can buy in if you do not have enough quarters. US or LPR did not think it made any difference to the price.

I just check AARP and this is what I found. Unless you know some other cuts ?  And in SC we tried Medicaid and Medicare all of them say that I am responsible for all her medical expenses  until she become a citizen. Even though, I believe, I signed the paper that says I sponsor her for 10 years only.

 

Can You Buy Into Social Security?

Generally the only route to benefits is 10 years of work

Q. My 55-year-old son-in-law hasn't worked long enough to qualify for Social Security. He has a 401(k) plan and says he's been advised to turn it into cash when he retires and use the money to buy into Social Security. Is that really possible?

A. Sorry to say, but the advice is wrong: You cannot "buy into" Social Security. To be eligible for retirement benefits, you need 40 Social Security credits, which you earn by working at a job covered by the system or having net income from self-employment. In 2012, you receive one credit for each $1,130 of earnings, up to a maximum of four credits per year. Thus it generally takes 10 years of work to earn the necessary 40 credits.

We went to apply for state insurance and were denied because i sponsored her. I was told, until she becomes a citizen, I will have to pay all her medical expenses.

You have been given bad information.  Your mother can buy into Medicare Part A and B, as long as she is 65 years old, a green card holder and established residency for 5 years in the US (not leaving more than six months a year).  The cost for Medicare A and B to buy is about $575 a month, much cheaper than what you are paying.  Part A covers hospitals, Part B covers seeing a doctor.

That, Social Security is a different thing.

Also that is not true people in CA can automatically buy into Medicare, you can't, you have to have 5 years of residency on a Green Card, if it were true everyone would immigrate to California first.

CA gives out Medicaid to new immigrants assuming they qualify with no waiting period. Not sure what the deal is with Medicare.

The waiting period is five years, you can't get Medicaid before that.  the only exceptions are refugees, asylees, or LPRs who used to be refugees or asylees.

CA and New York are different, I assume it has no Federal funding which is limited to 5 years.

She is disability person since Ukraine, but have no disability status in US. To get all medical papers for disability in US its thousands of dollars from my pocket that I don't have. She needs medical insurance here, since she is not getting any younger. And the only way to get insurance it's become US citizen.  

Not true. My husband just became a citizen a few months ago and he never had a problem getting health insurance as a perm resident.

It's called Inbound Immigrant Insurance, Google it.

Unfortunately California nor New York offers Medicaid to new immigrants for five years unless those exemptions I mentioned are met, it is the responsibility of the petitioner to take financial responsibility of the applicant so that they do not become a public charge, ie Medicaid.

For lawful permanent residents who are seeking health insurance coverage through Covered California or Medi-Cal, there is no "waiting period" or "five-year bar."

No one is saying your can't buy insurance in the open market, anyone can go to Covered California who is a resident of CA and purchase health insurance, this discussion is about green card holders older than 65 who are not citizens and who have not worked here.
