Same-sex marriages are treated the same as opposite-sex marriages for purposes of
the premium surcharge rollback. The gender of the married individuals, domicile and
date of marriage are not factors in determining eligibility for the premium surcharge
rollback. For instructions regarding premium surcharge rollback, see HI 00805.280 for SMI and HI 00805.285 for Premium-HI.
NOTE: Individuals age 65 and over who are, at the time of the premium surcharge rollback
request, in non-marital legal same-sex relationships, such as civil unions and domestic
partnerships are not considered spouses and do not meet eligibility requirements for
the premium surcharge rollback.
