Bill > HR1826

This bill aims to eliminate late enrollment penalties under Medicare Part B for individuals residing in Puerto Rico if they enroll within 5 years of becoming entitled to Medicare Part A benefits. The current law imposes late enrollment penalties for those who do not enroll in Part B when first eligible, but this bill proposes to waive those penalties for Puerto Rico residents who sign up within 5 years of their Part A eligibility. This change is intended to provide more fairness in Medicare enrollment for individuals living in Puerto Rico.
