You know, I called Medicare with a client in a similar situation and they refused to give the part A/B dates to us. They said they would send a new Medicare card, but couldn't disclose that information over the phone. this was two months ago during AEP.
I guess it is like the Federal Marketplace, it depends on who answers the phone and what mood they are in that day.

I work with SSDI clients who get Medicare from disability. Their Part A date can vary sometimes but their Part B date is almost always exactly 24 months from their date of SSDI payment entitlement.
If your client still has his award letter from SSDI, ask him what the very first sentence says on it. Generally, it will say "You are entitled to monthly disability benefits beginning (Month) (Year)". This will tell you that their Medicare Part B effective date is 24 months from that month/year.

That's what I did with the proposed insured this morning. Took me about 20-25 minutes because he thought it was late 2001 or early 2002. Wound up being April 2005.
I just hope his part B effective date is the same. That's what I listed on his application (same as A's effective date).

In a pinch i have whirled the effective date for MA and it never delayed application.I guess the carriers are going to verify it either way before they forward the application to CMS for approval.
For a person who started medicare when they T65 I use this to get the effective date.
