Multiple primary and tier1 sources, including the AP, medicare.gov, and a CMS presentation, state that the 2026 Medicare Open Enrollment Period runs October 15 to December 7. The posted passage was garbled ('October was it seventh'), but its final wording was 'October 15 and December 7,' so the extraction is faithful.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What we found

Supports. The AP (tier1) reports that Medicare open enrollment began Thursday, October 15, 2026, and ends December 7.[1]

Supports. Medicare.gov (primary) states that Open Enrollment happens from October 15 to December 7, with changes effective January 1 and requests due by December 7.[2]

Supports. A CMS presentation (primary) states that Medicare's Open Enrollment Period runs October 15 through December 7, and lists 2027 Open Enrollment key points with the same dates.[3]

Context. Later-published sources, including a Massachusetts government page dated 2026-10-30, repeat the same October 15 to December 7 dates, so the claim was not overtaken by any change.[4]
