Wrong Medicare ID Suffix Provided to Carriers

In the past few weeks I have had two people that needed to get their Med Supp Applications in, yet had not received their Medicare cards in the mail. In processing their apps and filling in the Medicare ID #, I just added the letter "A" to their Social Security number since this wage earner designation is the most common.

Today, I got a call from one of the people who told me that their Medicare ID card showed up and ends in "T" which I believe is for people who temporarily defer Social Security. Will this be an issue with the Supplement Carriers and PDP plans that the suffix is incorrect?
