In Florida. Trying to help my roommate.

Copy and pasted what I posted in both social security and medicare subreddits-

Roommate is turning 65 next month. He's on SSI because of being disabled. We live in Florida.

Per ssa and medicare- "Florida will be paying the medicare B premium". He is showing in both ssa and medicare that he is covered under QMB+.

Ssa also has stated- "don't apply for QMB!".

Florida DCF states- he must apply for QMB in order to get QMB coverage (even though that would likely fuck everything up?).

He does not have the work credits to qualify for part A.

Does he apply for conditional part A? If so, how? (There is no way to apply for just part A online- I've looked, doesn't exist, at least not anymore.) I presume in office? Would the QMB+ cover part A? He does get full medicaid because of his SSI status (at least currently).

I have been getting some help from my congressional representative aides. Will copy and paste the info from the last email in the comments.

I just keep going in circles and hitting roadblocks. As a result, my mental health is breaking (panic attack city and sh-ing -> fun times).

Please help.
