No. Only one of you need to be over 65 years of age to qualify for this exemption. Once this exemption is granted, if the qualifying spouse dies, then the exemption would remain in effect for the remaining spouse if the survivor is 55 years or older and has ownwership in the home. The ceiling remains in effect for as long as the spouse lives in the home. The surviving spouse needs to contact our office in order to continue receiving the exemption. See similar questions...

A total Knee Replacement arthroplasty removes the cartilage of the knee and substitutes it with a metal and plastic joint surface. The nerves in the joint are removed as well. The joint is grouted in place with bone cement. Done at this later age, the bones are softer and the muscles are weaker and hence the new joint can work for significant periods of time. If the surgery is done at an earlier age, it is likely that it will not be able to last more than 5 years at a time. See similar questions...

Generally, those defined as disabled by the SSA never return to active employment. Those that do return to work are no longer eligible for Medicare. Medicare also provides coverage for individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). See similar questions...

About three months prior to your 65 birthday you need to go to Social Security to enroll in Medicare Part A (hospitalization) and Part B (outpatient) UNLESS you are still a full-time employee. In that case you would enroll for only Part A. You would not enroll in Part B until you retire from full-time employment. Medicare Part A is the part that you must pay into Social Security for 10 years or 40 quarters to be eligible. See similar questions...

No, that is not necessarily true. The amount of the exemptions that are granted by each taxing entity is subtracted from the market value of your residence and the taxes are calculated on that "lower value." In addition, when you turn 65, your taxes for the school district in which you reside are frozen at the level established during the first year of qualification for the senior citizen exemption.
