I obtained my green card through an EB-5 investment, but I have never worked in the U.S. Therefore, my question is whether any of my investments will be considered when determining my Medicare Part A premium.

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyMedicare Part A (hospital insurance) is usually no cost if one has worked in the U.S. for at least 40 quarters (about 10 years) and paid Medicare taxes during that time. EB-5 investment is usually passive in nature helping you obtain lawful permanent resident status and eventually citizenship in the US unless you have invested in a direct EB-5 enterprise and may have worked, let's say, in a managerial role for the EB-5 enterprise. Contact Medicare specialist or SSA for eligibility and more specific information about your work history or lack thereof, effect on premiums, and any potential benefits through an eligible spouse if any.
