A ceased beneficiary who appeals the medical cessation may request SBC of only Medicare
coverage without also requesting SBC cash benefits.
NOTE: SBC does not apply to Medicare Qualified Government Employees (MQGE) only cases.
-
•
The beneficiary may elect SBC of both Parts A and B or only Part A or Part B.
-
•
An individual who was entitled to Part A only at the time of his/her disability entitlement
may enroll for Part B coverage only during the General Enrollment Period (GEP) of
January through March, with entitlement effective the first month after the month
of the GEP enrollment. Therefore, where an individual elects Medicare-only, then only
the Medicare coverage that was in effect as of the date of disability termination
will continue.
