Will I Lose Medicare Coverage If I Return To Work Part-Time?

I was able to earn up to $750.00 a month and still keep my social security disability benefits, will I lose my medicare part A and B if I return to work part time?

Hi,

I'm assuming from your question that you qualify for Medicare coverage based on your entitlement to Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits. If that's the case, then your Medicare coverage wouldn't be terminated unless your SSDI entitlement ends, or you stop paying any required Medicare premiums.

For more information on working while disabled, you may want to refer to this Social Security publication: https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10095.pdf. The Social Security website also has some Q & A's regarding Medicare coverage rules for SSDI recipients who return to work: https://www.ssa.gov/disabilityresearch/wi/extended.htm.

Best, Jerry
