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?

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
.
