When you need proof that your Medicare coverage is active, but don’t have your Medicare card yet, you’ll want to access your Benefit Verification Letter online at www.ssa.gov.
The Benefit Verification Letter shows if you’re receiving Social Security benefits, but ALSO confirms your Medicare coverage. It will display your Part A hospital insurance start date, Part B medical insurance start date (if you enrolled), as well as your unique Medicare number.
Let’s take a look at how you can access the Benefit Verification in a few easy steps:
Step #1: Login to your account at ssa.gov
Step #2: Click on the “Your Benefit Verification Letter” link on your main account dashboard. The link is situated in a different spot, based on whether you’re receiving both Medicare and Social Security benefits…OR…Medicare only. See images below for your particular situation.
Step #3: Click the Adobe PDF link to download and view a copy of the letter.
Step #4: Locate the Medicare Information section of the letter. Depending on whether you have Part A only, or Part A & Part…there are three important spots on the letter to look for:
Start dates for Parts A & B are always the 1st of the month referenced.
This letter is proof of Medicare coverage, so you can use it while you’re waiting for your Medicare card to arrive by mail.
