Assess a penalty according to the following criteria:
-
•
First violation
The penalty equals the MBC for the earliest month for not making a timely report and
without good cause.
-
•
Second violation
The penalty is two times the MBC unless there is only one month in the violation period
or the beneficiary accepted only one month's benefit;
then the penalty equals the MBC (For information on calculating violations, see GN 02604.130.)
-
•
Third and subsequent violations
The penalty is three times the MBC. When deductions are showing or benefits accepted
for less than 3 months in the violation period; then the penalty equals the MBC times
the number of months involved.
