Federal health insurance is a national health insurance plan under the responsibility of the federal government. Older people over 65 years old or disabled people under 65 years old can enjoy their benefits. In addition, people who enjoy railway retirement benefits and people who are terminally ill can also enjoy their benefits. Red and blue cards are different from white cards. The eligibility of red and blue cards has nothing to do with the income and assets at the time of application. Red and blue cards are national projects, and the application procedures in each state are basically the same. In addition to meeting the age limit of 65, to apply for a red and blue card, you must also meet the following conditions: being an American citizen or permanent resident; You or your spouse have worked for more than 10 years (at least 40 working seasons); Your spouse is over 62 years old and you are 65 years old. If you are divorced or widowed, as long as your spouse has worked for enough years.
If you are a new immigrant, you must buy a red and blue card at your own expense to enjoy the welfare. Although you are over 65 years old, if you don't accumulate 40 points, you have to pay it to 600 yuan every month. This is a heavy burden for many new immigrants and old people. However, some experts said that in California, low-income residents, even if they just immigrated to the United States, can apply for a California white card as long as they have a green card. White card holders can ask the white card to pay the premium for the red and blue cards in 600 yuan and get the red and blue cards for free.
Red and blue cards are very good benefits for many people who have just arrived in the United States or lived in the United States for a long time but have not got a white card. If you meet the requirements for getting a red and blue card, don't miss it.
