(From an FMO):
I’m sure you have seen the delay in Original Medicare Part A & B enrollments. If you have tried to call into Social Security to check on the status of a pending application more than likely you were disconnected from the line.
Please make sure you are explaining to your clients the potential delays and that they should be enrolling ahead of schedule to avoid conflicts. Medicare announced that because of these issues that people will be given extra time to sign up for Original Medicare from January 1, 2022- December 30, 2022. This means that late enrollment penalties will not apply. Read more here: https://www.medicare.gov/basics/get-started-with-medicare/sign-up/ready-to-sign-up-for-part-a-part-b
Unfortunately, we do not have all the answers to your questions at this time. Due to the issues at hand, we would not recommend calling Social Security for answers. We simply wanted to pass along the information in front of us to the best of our ability.
