HI 00801.002 Waiver of HI Entitlement by Monthly Beneficiary

A. Introduction

Some individuals entitled to monthly benefits have asked to waive their HI entitlement because of religious or philosophical reasons or because they prefer other health insurance.

B. Policy

Individuals entitled to monthly benefits which confer eligibility for HI may not waive HI entitlement. The only way to avoid HI entitlement is through withdrawal of the monthly benefit application. Withdrawal requires repayment of all RSDI and HI benefit payments made. (See GN 00206.020 for withdrawal consideration and exclusions).
