Children with ESRD can qualify for ESRD Medicare if one of their parents worked and paid Medicare taxes for a sufficient period of time.
Someone is considered a child if they are,
- Unmarried and age 21 and younger
- Age 22 to 25 (and receive some support from your parents)
- An adult dependent child (a child determined disabled before age 22)
Coverage of ESRD treatment for children works the same as it does for adults.
