First step would be to visit SSA. com or your local SSA office. Are you at least 62 or disabled? Have you worked and earned credits toward Social Security? You will need to be at least 65 to qualify for medicare, unless you are disabled.

Most of the SSI application process can be done online, though you will eventually need to go to your local Social Security office with supporting documentation regarding your need, income, and Social Security information. When you receive your approval for SSI, you will be provided the necessary information for how to apply for Medicare.
