I called ACA twice. Both times reassured that the ACA plan can be backdated to cancel on the 1st of the month. I just have to make sure I tell them only to take me off the plan. I'm all signed up for Medicare with a Medigap plan and prescription plan to start Sept. 1. It's considered a life change and I received a letter from the ACA that also explained a few things.
This is interesting. When DH started Medicare (6/1), I called 5/31 and they said to call back on 6/1. I called on 6/1 and the rep said I was too late to make the change effective 6/1, but I think she was mistaken because she eventually connected me with a supervisor who said she would "escalate" the issue to "backdate the change to 6/1," which was kind of funny because it was still 6/1. But it was fixed within a couple of days (although they snail-mailed me the notice which took 8 days which messed up a claim in the meantime). So backdating is possible, but I did not realize it was standard. I thought it took a supervisor to do that.
