SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

27, 2016, pursuant to the Federal Civil 

Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act 

Improvements Act of 2015 (the 2015 

Act),1 we published an interim final 

rule to adjust the level of civil monetary 

penalties (CMP) under sections 1129 

and 1140 of the Social Security Act, 42 

U.S.C. 1320a–8 and 1320b–10, with an 

initial ‘‘catch-up’’ adjustment effective 

August 1, 2016.2 We announced in the 

interim final rule that for any future 

adjustments, we would publish a notice 

in the Federal Register to announce the 

new amounts. The annual inflation 

adjustment in subsequent years must be 

a cost-of-living adjustment based on any 

increases in the October Consumer Price 

Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI–U) 

(not seasonally adjusted) each year.3

Inflation adjustment increases must be 

rounded to the nearest multiple of $1.4

We last updated the maximum penalty 

amounts effective January 15, 2018.5

Based on Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) guidance, the 

information below serves as public 

notice of the new maximum penalty 

amounts for 2019. The adjustment 

results in the following new maximum 

penalties, which will be effective as of 

January 15, 2019. 

Section 1129 CMPs (42 U.S.C. 1320a–8) 

$7,779.00 (current maximum per 

violation for fraud facilitators in a 

position of trust) × 1.02522 (OMB-issued 

inflationary adjustment multiplier) = 

$7,975.19. When rounded to the nearest 

dollar, the new maximum penalty is 

$7,975.00. 

$8,249.00 (current maximum per 

violation for all other violators) × 

1.02522 (OMB-issued inflationary 

adjustment multiplier) = $8,457.04. 

When rounded to the nearest dollar, the 

new maximum penalty is $8,457.00. 

Section 1140 CMPs (42 U.S.C. 1320b– 

10) 

$10,260.00 (current maximum per 

violation for all violations other than 

broadcast or telecasts) × 1.02522 (OMBissued inflationary adjustment 

multiplier) = $10,518.76. When rounded 

to the nearest dollar, the new maximum 

penalty is $10,519.00. 

$51,302.00 (current maximum per 

broadcast or telecast) × 1.02522 (OMBissued inflationary adjustment 

multiplier) = $52,595.84. When rounded 

to the nearest dollar, the new maximum 

penalty is $52,596.00.
