Interesting timeline info, thanks. Apparently some exceptions.
I just worked with a client that enrolled online 2nd week of May, T65 in 1st week of May. Dropping group coverage 6/1/2015.
Medicare card arrived a couple weeks later, effective date for A&B is 5/1/2015. Not what was expected. They actually waited until after 5/1 to enroll online, thinking that the Medicare effective date would be 6/1/2015.
I wonder if Medicare would move the Medicare B effective date to 6/1/2015 to avoid paying for May while covered on group.

Now it's a fillable pdf, pretty great. Used it a couple months ago.
