If someone receives black lung benefits through the Social Security Administration at the beginning of each month is he entitled to medical benefits?

Answered by Rachel Green

Entitlement to medical benefits

If you were awarded monthly black lung benefits under Social Security, you are not automatically

entitled to receive medical benefits. You must have filed a claim with the U.S. Department of Labor on

or before December 31, 1980, in order to be considered and approved for medical benefits.
