My husband is retired and drawing his social security I didn't have enough credits so I'm drawing social security off of my husband I have to start dialysis this week can I get more social security money now that I'm on dialysis if so how do I go about it please

Hi. No, I'm sorry but going on dialysis wouldn't make you eligible for a higher Social Security benefit. However, if you are under age 65 and you've been diagnosed with end stage renal disease (ESRD) you may be able to qualify for early Medicare coverage. For more information on early Medicare coverage for people with ESRD, refer to the following Social Security website: https://www.ssa.gov/disabilityresearch/wi/medicare.htm#kidney.
