I'm working with a couple. He's 59. She's 66. They are both on group health insurance through his employer. He retired in March of 2019, and they will be able to keep their health insurance, which is excellent coverage, until May of 2020.
I don't know if she has part A yet. I know she doesn't have part B. I didn't think it mattered if she had part A, but I heard that if she already has part A, then she has 60 days to enroll into Medicare part B, once her group plan ends in May of 2020. So, she could enroll into part B and either a supp or mapd to begin on May 1? Even though they have group coverage that is NOT based on current employment, and his employment ended in March of 2019?
I thought I had this figured out, but I'm still lost. Any help is appreciated!
