Whole lot of details missing about how "...So that your A & B begins on the effective date and your other insurance (Supplement or Advantage plan) that you have begins at the same time".
In your example, if you want the person who's birthday is between July 2 thru to July 31st and want their Med A & B to be effective July 1st...they must file for Medicare A & B + the time it take for approval (maybe 2 weeks to get the Medicare A & B card), with the medicare card then you can apply for your Supplement or Advantage Plan, which can take some more time and that means you got to do all of this way before July 1st.
So, if you file for Medicare A & B in June and don't get your Medicare card until July, only until you get your medicare card can you then sign-up for an supplement or Advantage Plan...you might not be able to have your plan start on July 1st.

My experience does not match what you are saying. I put off signing up for Medicare until the last month (July) of my enrollment period in order to put off paying for Part B. According to your information, that would start Part B in October. But, not only did Medicare still put my enrollment start date as my birthday month (April), they are also going to send me a invoices for each month since my birthday month (four Months worth) and also a three month bill for the months going forward. So, even though I wanted to put off Paying for play B until October, I'm going to have to pay for all the months starting from April. I called Medicare about this and was directed to call Social Security, which I did. I was told that, yes, this was how it was and that the only time that these was a delay in starting was when sign-up is done during special enrollment periods.

My husband passed away and so I'm receiving my spousal Social Security from him and I have not filed for my personal Social Security does that matter?

What if you are still working and are contributing to an HSA ?

It would be very helpful if you spoke and explained things at a slower pace. You talk so fast it’s difficult to follow the info.

65? No thank you. With the way our world is going, I am on SSDI and private insurance through hubbies employer until March 1, the day he retires. Going on Medicare advantage plan at 62. He is 59 years, 11 months old. Full Health insurance through VA enables him to retire early and enjoy life while we still can.
