A revised DB based on Holocaust procedure that makes the claimant older than established based on documentary evidence will not cause a premium penalty for late enrollment.

If the claimant was paying an increased SMI premium in the month prior to the month the Holocaust DB is established, no additional premium increase will accrue because of the Holocaust DB.

If the claimant was not, but could have been, entitled to SMI based on the documentary evidence, the SMI entitlement date and premium rate will be established based on the documentary evidence even though an earlier DB is established under the Holocaust procedure.

Based on Mr. Abel's, document shows that Mr Abel attained age 65 in 12/ 78 and was entitled to SMI beginning 7/80, based on GEP enrollment. Because 12 months had elapsed following the end of the IEP through the end of the GEP, Mr Abel premium rate was increased 10 percent for late enrollment. Under the Holocaust procedure, the DB was revised as of 9/80 to reflect that Mr Abel attained age 65 in 12/76. Even though the claimant was older than originally established, Mr. Abel will continue to be subject to only a 10 percent premium increase.

Mr. Blank filed for reduced benefits in 7/90. Mr. Blank documentary evidence shows a DB of 7/15/28. Under the Holocaust procedures, the DB is established as 7 /15/24. Monthly benefits and HI are awarded 1/90. SMI is awarded 7/90 with the option to elect 1/90. There is no premium increase for late enrollment.

Ms. Green is uninsured and enrolled in SMI on 6/92. Although the document shows that Ms. Green was born 3/17/28, the DB is established under the Holocaust procedure as 3/17/25. SMI is awarded with 6 /92 unless, at the time of processing, more than 6 months' premiums are due. In the latter event, Ms. Green is awarded SMI beginning with the month action is taken to process an award, with the option to have coverage beginning with 6/ 92. Regardless of when coverage begins, there is no premium increase for late enrollment.
