Medicare is the federal health insurance program for people age 65 or over and those who are disabled or have chronic kidney disease or amyotropic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Original and duplicate Social Security cards are issued here. Applications for all benefits may be made in person or, in most cases, online, by mail or phone.
