You can apply online at www.ssa.gov.  Since you have a work record, you can apply for Social Security Disability Income, the equivalent of what you would receive if you were retired.  If these are less than you would receive in Supplemental Security Income ($771/month in 2019), you would still receive $771/month.  After receiving SSDI for 24 months, you will be eligible for Medicare.  Based on your income, Medicaid may pay part or all of the Medicare premium.
