Part B Eligibility Question

I have a client that will be 66 this year, he received his part A 10/2015 however he didn't take out part B. Says he doesn't know what happened with the Part b. He was on an ACA plan with a term date of 6/30/2016 due to non-payment. He went to the SS office to enroll in Part B with the hopes of an SEP however they advised he had to wait until 1/1/17-3/31/2017 for a 7/1/17 eff date.

Is this correct? I thought he would be eligible for an SEP also since he had the ACA until 6/30/16
