Sec.  233.4  Reconsideration of the reduction computation.



    The Board shall periodically, but at least quarterly, examine the 

determinations and calculations made under Sec. Sec.  233.1 and 233.2, 

in view of changes which may occur in the estimates used. If, as a 

result of this examination, the Board determines that the balance in the 

Dual Benefits Payments Account will be insufficient to pay benefits from 

that Account for the balance of the fiscal year at the established rate, 

the Board shall establish a new rate of reduction to be applied to 

benefits to be paid for the remaining months so that the balance in the 

Dual Benefits Payments Account will be sufficient to pay benefits for 

the remainder of the fiscal year. If, as a result of this examination, 

the Board finds that the balance in the Account is greater than would be 

required to pay benefits at the then applicable reduction percentage for 

the remainder of the fiscal year, the Board may, at its discretion, 

decrease the reduction percentage with respect to benefits to be paid 

for the remaining months.
