This question comes from an individual who is a U.S. citizen, works as a research scientist, and receives a disability pension from Japan which is not sufficient to meet his living needs.
His question: "Am I eligible to get any benefits (SSDI, Medicare etc.) and how do I apply?"
If you never worked in the US or worked very little, you may not be insured for Social Security disability benefits. If you have not worked enough to be insured, you are not eligible for Social Security disability. If you happen to have worked enough to be insured for Social Security disability benefits, your disability amount would be offset with the amount of your disability pension from Japan...
Am I Eligible to get Benefits (SSDI, Medicare) if I worked overseas and get a disability pension from another country?
