Text of Recommendation | We recommend that the Office of Programs strengthen its controls over the penalty calculation process and the accuracy of supporting data by updating the RL-331, Notice of Change in Health Insurance Election to include a penalty calculation summary that explains how and why the penalty rate was calculated and includes the applicable calculation decision elements, such as the dates of employment, GHP coverage period, SBI Income Related Monthly Adjustment Amount, birthdate, retirement date, penalty period start and end dates, and the total monthly premium to enable the beneficiary to understand the reason for the penalty decision and how it was calculated, along with instruction on how to inquire when the beneficiary identifies a possible error.
