Medicare experts - My father in law is on
Medicare Advantage. We want to move him to regular Medicare (plan he was on in 2022). He recently moved from independent living to Assisted Living. Medicare assistant on phone seemed to indicate this would qualify him for Special Enrollment Period (2 month) option where he could make switch. I don’t see such an option online. Any guidance would be appreciated.

to an institution like an assisted living facility is a change and you have 2 months to switch from Advantage to original or vice versa.
Institutions include: 1.) long-term hospitals, 2.) skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), 3.) rehabilitation hospitals and units, 4.) psychiatric hospitals and units, 5.) care facilities for the intellectually disabled, and 6.) and swing bed hospitals.

Veteran's benefit called "Aid and Attendance" that he could qualify to receive. There are some parameters involved, but I have seen cases where Veterans who served during a time of conflict can get up to $2,000 a month extra.
