# §408.53. Change from partial direct remittance to full deduction.


If a benefit that was less than the premium (and therefore required direct remittance of the difference) is increased to an amount equal to, or greater than, the premium—

- (a) The full premium is paid from the benefit; and
- (b) **Any amounts the enrollee had paid toward premiums not yet due are refunded.**
