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 (CMPs) under sections 1129 

and 1140 of the Social Security Act, 42 

U.S.C. 1320a–8 and 1320b–10, 

respectively, 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-ofliving 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, 2024.5

Based on Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) guidance,6 the 

information below serves as public 

notice of the new maximum penalty 

amounts for 2025. The adjustment 

results in the following new maximum 

penalties, which will be effective as of 

January 15, 2025. 

Section 1129 CMPs (42 U.S.C. 1320a– 

8): 

$9,704.00 (current maximum per violation 

for fraud facilitators in a position of trust) x 

1.02598 (OMB-issued inflationary adjustment 

multiplier) = $9,956.11. When rounded to the 

nearest dollar, the new maximum penalty is 

$9,956. 

$10,289.00 (current maximum per 

violation for all other violators) × 1.02598 

(OMB-issued inflationary adjustment 

multiplier) = $10,556.31. When rounded to 

the nearest dollar, the new maximum penalty 

is $10,556. 

Section 1140 CMPs (42 U.S.C. 1320b– 

10): 

$12,799.00 (current maximum per 

violation for all violations other than 

broadcast or telecasts) × 1.02598 (OMBissued inflationary adjustment multiplier) = 

$13,131.52. When rounded to the nearest 

dollar, the new maximum penalty is $13,132. 

$63,991.00 (current maximum per violative 

broadcast or telecast) × 1.02598 (OMB-issued 

inflationary adjustment multiplier) = 

$65,653.49. When rounded to the nearest 

dollar, the new maximum penalty is $65,653.
