(2) People under age 65 who have been entitled for at least 24 months to benefits under subchapter II of this chapter—or who would have been entitled to those benefits if certain government employment counted as covered employment under that subchapter—or who have been entitled under the railroad retirement system because of a disability. (3) Certain people who do not meet the conditions in clause (1) or (2), but whom a medical determination finds to have end stage renal disease. This section does not define the terms “retirement benefits,” “railroad retirement system,” “disability,” or “end stage renal disease.”
