No, I don't have Part C. I don't get to choose my Part D, it gets assigned to me. I have to send my tax return from 2021, my proof of the amount I receive each month from SSDI, and proof of the amount of rent I pay.
I think the proof items are for MediCal (Medicaid), which seems to me to be blended with Medicare. It's annoying to me that just because I'm (sort-of) married I have to accept SSDI (meaning MediCal) and not SSI (which would be only Medicare), and which means I get only a small fraction of the amount of money I'd get if I was on SSI. I've never worked full-time in my life, so my SSDI is only $250/month. All the other money I have is from David. This country treats a full-time parent like a fool; no credit score, no retirement, basically, no security, at all. It's disgusting.
