They say you can apply within 30 days to Medicare after your termination. Does anybody know when actually Medicare enrollment starts? In 2 month? January 1? Or when?

Yes if you are drawing social security but have had insurance through Macy you can file right away if you medical is termed. You have to have HR send yo social security tgat you have had insurance so not be penalized
Medicare is confusing to navigate. I just opted out of Macy's medical coverage for Medicare. I went to the local library and took the book out "Medicare for Dummies". It's a wealth of information written plainly. Also go to Medicare.gov and you can get information there as well. Good luck to you.
If you have a Life change in employment status and lost health coverage, you can apply immediately.
Maybe you mean Medicaid or one of the plans under the Affordable Care Act?
I believe that if you are 65 years old, and retire you can still get Medicare benefits ! Don’t forget that Medicare only covers 80% of medical benefits! You will also need a supplemental health insurance to cover the cost of 20% that you will need to pay to make up the difference that Medicare pays! Also you will need the part D prescription dr-g coverage too!
