我们从收到的电话和信件中选择了几个有关年长者福利资格的问题，希望在本月的专栏中分享这些信息。如果您对 Medicare（红蓝卡）、Medicaid（白卡）、平价医疗法案健康保险市场、社会保障退休福利、补充保障收入或 COVID/流感疫苗接种有其他疑问，您可以通过三种方式联系我们的年长者帮助中心： 电话留言: (普通话) 1-800-683-7427；(粤语) 1-800-582-4218；(英语) 1-800-336-2722 电子邮件: askNAPCA@napca.org 邮寄地址: NAPCA Senior Assistance Center, 1511 Third Avenue, Suite 914, Seattle, WA 98101 <问题1> 我自62岁起就领取了社会保障退休金（SSRB）。当我达到完全退休年龄（FRA）时，我的退休金会增加吗？ 不会。由于您在达到完全退休年龄前开始领取退休金，减少后的金额是永久固定的。受益人只有在达到完全退休年龄时领取退休金，才能领取全额。受益人也可以申请推迟领取退休金（最晚延至70岁），而根据延迟的时间，退休金每年会增长约8%。 <问题2> 我是美国公民，58岁。我丈夫刚刚去世。他已领取社会保障退休金。我现在可以领取遗属福利吗，还是应该等到达到退休年龄才领取？即使我可以领取配偶福利，我还能获得额外的生活援助吗？ 年满60岁即可申请遗属福利，但若您60岁时就申请，终生只能领取部分。如果您有资格领取自己的个人退休福利，您最早可以在62岁时改为领取个人退休福利。您可以选择领取金额更高的那个。如果您在达到完全退休年龄后申请遗属福利，您将获得已故配偶100%的社会保障退休金。 如果您的收入有限，您现在可能有资格享受Medicaid（白卡）的医疗补助。当您年满65岁时，您应该申请Medicare（红蓝卡），并且可以根据您的收入和资产尝试申请补充保障收入（SSI）和/或Medicare节省计划（MSP）。 <问题3> 我65岁，到今年9月已经来美国10年了。我提交了永居申请，很快就会拿到绿卡。我什么时候可以加入Medicare（红蓝卡）？我听说有5年的等待期，所以收到绿卡后我必须等待5年吗？ 要获得加入Medicare（红蓝卡）的资格，个人必须年满65岁，并且是美国公民或在美国合法居住至少连续5年。您不必在整个5年内都是永久居民，但在注册Medicare时需要成为永久居民。您的初始注册期 (IEP) 是从您得到通知成为永久居民并收到绿卡时开始，持续3个月。 <问题 4> 我的Medicaid（白卡）资格检查是什么时候？我何时会收到州政府的续保信？我至今还没有收到州政府的来信，我应该怎么办？ 您收到Medicaid（白卡）资格检查通知的时间取决于您当前Medicaid的结束日期。一般来说，Medicaid受益人会在承保结束日期前30至60天收到续保通知，但各州都有各自的标准。Medicaid 资格检查目前正在进行中，并将持续整个2023年，预计按序审核到2024年。 请密切关注您所在州的卫生部发送的所有通知，以保证您的续保顺利进行，避免失去保险。因此，您需要确保您向卫生部提供的联系方式是有效的。如果您认为您应该已经收到资格检查文件但尚未收到，您可以致电当地的Medicaid办公室查询。 国家亚太老龄化中心 (NAPCA) 是一个非营利组织，致力于改善亚裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民 （AANHPI）年长者及其家人的生活质量。NAPCA年长者帮助中心面向年长者及其看护人提供五种不同语言的服务。
