Medicare is the federal health insurance program for U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are 65 years of age or older, younger and have certain disabilities, or end-stage renal disease （ ESRD ）.

Immigrants can also enroll in Medicare if they meet eligibility requirements. Since Medicare is an individual health insurance program, an individual cannot be enrolled in Medicare for his or her spouse or parents.

Can assist parents and spouses in obtaining permanent residence in the U.S. so that they meet Medicare residency eligibility requirements. According to USCIS （ USCIS ） a green card is required for permanent residence and may be applied for through family members. If an individual is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, the parents or spouse of that individual may apply for a green card through their relationship to that individual.

Please begin by checking your eligibility for Social Security.

Below are the eligibility requirements

How long do you have to be in the U.S. to apply for Social Security?
Learn more about credits at www.ssa. gov/planners/credits.html.
Although you need at least 10 years of work (40 credits) to qualify
for Social Security retirement benefits , we base the amount of your benefit
on your highest 35 years of earnings.
（ How long must I stay in the U.S. to apply for Social Security?
For more information on credits, visit www.ssa.gov/planners/credits.html.
You must have at least 10 years of service (40 credits) to qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, but
benefit amounts are based on up to 35 years of earnings. ）

As you can see, Social Security eligibility requires
a minimum of 10 years of employment.
This can be found at https://www.ssa.gov/のサイトで個人のアカウントを作成する事でわかりますので
Please create and check your records. You can also check Medicare on the same site
please check this site.

What is the Social Security 5 year rule?
You must have worked and paid Social Security taxes in five of the last ten years
In addition, see explanation above.
In other words, even if you live in the US, you must have paid Social Security
taxes and Medicare for five of the last 10 years.

I have a client who has US citizenship but is not eligible for Social Security
and is currently back in Japan and in a Japanese hospital.
He was an investor and did not work for a company, so he did not pay Social Security or
Medicare, and when he reached the age to apply, he could not receive the benefits because he did not pay enough
to qualify.

I think you can check the website first and if you are eligible for Social Security, you can apply for Medicare
.

Thanks for the quick information. My phone is an iPhone 11 64GB. Like Mr. Koji, I can only insert one SIM card. Just yesterday I changed my contract to SPECTRUM and now I have eSIM. I would appreciate it if you could let me know if it is possible to use an eSIM and a physical SIM card to support a Dual SIM, as Koji-san said. If I can't use my US phone number while in Japan, I don't think it will be a problem, so I am planning to buy a data SIM card for Japan from Amazon in Japan. Thank you for your continued support.

LoveKihei,

I'm an android user myself and iPhone is a bit of a challenge, but
according to the Apple information below, iPhone 11 will have dial support with eSIM and physical SIM.
（ My phone does not support eSIM （ crying ） ）

https://support.apple.com/ja-jp/guide/iphone/iph9c5776d3c/ios#:~:text=%! E4%BB%A5%E4%B8%8B%E3%81%AE%E3%83%A2%E3%83%87%E3%83%AB%E3%81%A7%E3%81%AF%E3%80%81%E3%83%87%E3%83%A5%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AB,eSIM%E3%82%92 %E4%BD%BF%E7%94%A8%E3%81%A7%E3%81%8D%E3%81%BE%E3%81%99%E3%80%82

Also Spectrum's plan, a quick check shows the following for international travel
https://www.spectrum.com/mobile/plans/international

If you enter "Japan" in the "Calling and Data Rates by Destination" field, you will get the rates while in Japan.
Talk Talk Calling and Data Rates by Destination Talk $ 0.05 / min, Text $ 0.02 intl, Data $ 0.01 per mb.
1 GB = 1000 MB, so $ 10 / GB, which is rather expensive.

The detailed settings are probably on the Apple site above, but
Make sure your data communication is through a physical SIM purchased in Japan, and
be careful not to be charged by Spectrum for data communication through an eSIM. Please be careful not to be charged by Spectrum for data communication via eSIM.

I used to be a T-Mobile customer about 10 years ago, but being a cheater, I am now a SPECTRUM customer because of the price. In the future, I will check not only the price but also the service content carefully before signing a contract. Thank you very much.

You have to wait 3 weeks between the first and second dose, but 3 weeks is a blink of an eye, so if you have time to post on the board, I recommend you get the vaccine right away ！

It is safer for yourself ！

I live in Hawaii, I am a permanent resident, and I have only had 2 vaccines.

I don't want to have any more vaccines either.

I will be returning to Japan soon. It is really helpful that I don't need negative proof to enter Japan or to return to Hawaii.

＃ 33 Topi Rocco

Sorry for the sidebar.

I'm not a fictitious person. There is a lot of disparity among locals and Filipinos just as there is a lot of disparity among Japanese. Ask the housekeepers in the major hotels. Many of them are homeowners and renters.

They are saving money wisely by doing 2jobs from when they are young so that they can be rich in their old age.

People who can only think of now will not be able to live on their pensions alone in their old age and will probably return to Japan or move to the US mainland.

That is the current situation in Hawaii.

I think you all are being too aggressive with Rocco who posted this ？
I can't believe that in a free talk forum there are people who say that you don't have to live in Hawaii if you say things like that...there are so many people with bad character

I understand what you are saying Rocco
. There are many places in Oahu that are full of homeless people and smells in some places.
With the current cost of living in Hawaii, it's hard to make a living with a normal job

If you live in Hawaii and don't know this, you must have bad eyesight ？
. ？
There are many unsafe places in Hawaii, do you live in those places and don't you know it ？
Those who don't know and are attacking Rocco, please go around Oahu by car or bus and see many places.

I know how you feel ？ about Hawaii
If you are very rich, you won't mind the rising prices, but unfortunately I am a commoner too.

Town, especially around Waikiki, is already a zombie town
What will really happen to Hawaii ？?

I don't know how you came to live in Hawaii, but if your salary is not enough, it is because you are not good enough. If the company needs you, they will pay you accordingly. You can't work 50 hours a week for minimum wage. If you can do that, more people will want to live in Hawaii.
People who live in Hawaii without hardship have had a good job and hardships.

#42 Waikiki

"Before Corona, there were so many homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks and bus stops around Waikiki, but now I never see them "

I have lived in Waikiki for over 10 years, "and now I never see them< " This is a mistake ！ You should not make false and misleading statements ！

It is true that the number of homeless people seems to have decreased since Corona started, but I work in Waikiki from afternoon to night, so I walk to work and to my apartment. I usually get home from work around 10:00 p.m. ！ During the daylight hours, I see homeless people begging for money near the Cheesecake Factory ！ And there is a small lawn at the bus stop where the Princess Kaiulani statue is located. ！ There are also homeless people sleeping around the bus stops ！ I bet you never walk around Waikiki at night, so you don't see any homeless people

There are many of them ！ along the Ala Wai Canal and around Waikiki Health. There was a big incident this year at a 7-Eleven in Waikiki. There are homeless people living in tents near the bus stop 😭 😱 and behind the police station in Waikiki... I think it's because there are toilets and showers available there ！ I walk to work and back every day, so I might know better than you 🤣

By the way, I was surprised to see a homeless woman doing her business on the street in the daytime around the Waikiki Health Center 🤦 🤦 I've seen this before. I think these people are beyond embarrassing
I think they are the cause of the stench.

＃ Dear Waikiki
Thank you for your detailed explanation. This is the most troublesome thing that can be excused by exchanging cash for so much as lending it to an acquaintance. Keeping in mind that it may not make sense, I will consider reporting it if it is too annoying. Very helpful.
I hope that people like Mr. Waikiki, who follow the rules and operate the site honestly, will not be harmed.
Thank you very much for your answer.

If you have a noise or drug problem, it is more effective to call 311. When I have reported noise problems and bulky trash, I have been treated well.

I understand the complications and your feelings.
The law itself is also complicated, and there are likely to be more changes in the future, such as the minimum 90-day rental （ since last October, where this very Bill 41) was blocked for the time being. The current mayor is cheering for a tough crackdown on illegal vaqueros, but the topic itself has a variety of voices. As mentioned above, I think the most reliable information is to contact DPP.
https://www.honolulu.gov/dpp/permitting/short-term-rentals.html
It's not always the case that because it's in Waikiki, it's ok to buy a vaquero, so the best precaution is to make sure you know exactly what you're getting into before you buy. I think the best way to prevent problems is to do your homework on the property before you buy it.

#Maria Price RA
Thank you again for your comments.
It is a very difficult issue.
I'm sure there are many people who are confused by the enforcement of laws that were not in place when they purchased the property to do vaqueros, and on the other hand, it is not very welcoming for residents to have strangers swapping in and out of a residential area. I will keep an eye on the future fluctuations, taking into account the advice I have received. Thank you both so much for your detailed explanations.

I didn't know there was a Japanese site. It is easy to understand. Other companies specify size, umbrella type only, etc., but it looks like the only stipulation is weight. If you have any other experience or recommendations for strollers, I would appreciate your advice. The child I will be going with will be about a year and a half old.
