Is your benefit greater than $750 a month? Because that is what folks on SSI get

Call Social Security not Medicare to get this straightened out. Also you can get a copy of your award letter on their (SSA) website and it should state what program you are in SSI/SSDI.
I get exactly 750 a month and I checked my award letter and even what it says on my direct deposit... It's SSI.

People in the SS office kept saying that I qualified because I was getting disability for two years and I was supposed to get it back in 2012 but I was getting as I keep saying SSI the whole time, not SSDI.
