Bill > HR4027

This bill, the Fairness in Medicare Part B Enrollment Act of 2023, aims to eliminate late enrollment penalties under Part B of the Medicare program for individuals residing in Puerto Rico if they enroll within 5 years of becoming entitled to benefits under Part A. The amendment to the Social Security Act would allow these individuals to avoid the late enrollment penalty if they sign up for Part B within 5 years of becoming eligible for Part A, rather than the standard timeline. This change would make it more accessible and affordable for Puerto Rico residents to enroll in Part B of Medicare.
