An automatic recalculation of the primary insurance amount (PIA) includes RR compensation for a number holder (NH) who meets all of the following:

• •

  was not a RR annuitant;

• •

  does not have 120 service months;

• •

  was entitled to retirement insurance benefits (RIB) before 11/1951; and

• •

  lived throughout 11/1951.

A RR recalculation does not require an application in a life or a death case.

Increases are payable beginning 11/1951 for the NH or for survivors and for a lump sum (LS) payment.

Compute or recompute under the rules in RS 00620.071 when:

• •

  the NH dies after 08/1950 and before 12/1951; and

• •

  we did not previously consider RR compensation.

Reopen the last computation or recalculation and include RR compensation to determine the PIA for months beginning 11/1951. RR compensation is creditable for quarters of coverage (QC) purposes and establishes increment years.
