PART 418_MEDICARE SUBSIDIES--Table of Contents
 
                   Subpart D_Medicare Part D Subsidies
 
Sec.  418.3201  Must you file an application to become eligible for a 
subsidy?

    Unless you are a person covered by Sec.  418.3105, in addition to 
meeting other requirements, you or your personal representative must 
file an application to become eligible for a subsidy. If you believe you 
may be eligible for a subsidy, you should file an application. Filing a 
subsidy application does not commit you to participate in the Part D 
program. Filing an application will:
    (a) Permit us to make a formal determination on your eligibility for 
the subsidy and whether you should receive a full or partial subsidy;
    (b) Assure that you can receive the subsidy for any months that you 
are eligible and are enrolled in a Medicare Part D plan or Medicare 
Advantage plan with prescription drug coverage; and
    (c) Give you the right to appeal if you disagree with our 
determination.
