Recalculate or recompute the PIA only for the following reasons.
-
•
We changed the month of entitlement to a month where different computation rules apply.
-
•
We determined the month of entitlement after establishing a conditional month of entitlement.
-
•
We amended the earnings for a year or when the claimant reports additional earnings.
Do not give a recomputation or recalculation solely due to the beneficiary filing
an annual report or giving a COLA, even if this information would result in a change
in the PIA if it were available at the time of the initial PIA determination.
When you need a recomputation or recalculation for another reason; e.g., month of
entitlement change, additional earnings, use all information related to the year,
including the amount of the COLA and annual report information.
