(d) Monthly premiums

    (1) The Secretary shall, during September of each year (beginning 
with 1988), estimate the monthly actuarial rate for months in the 
succeeding year. Such actuarial rate shall be one-twelfth of the amount 
which the Secretary estimates (on an average, per capita basis) is equal 
to 100 percent of the benefits and administrative costs which will be 
payable from the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund for services 
performed and related administrative costs incurred in the succeeding 
year with respect to individuals age 65 and over who will be entitled to 
benefits under this part during that year.
    (2) The Secretary shall, during September of each year \1\ determine 
and promulgate the dollar amount which shall be applicable for premiums 
for months occurring in the following year. Subject to paragraphs (4) 
and (5), the amount of an individual's monthly premium under this 
section shall be equal to the monthly actuarial rate determined under 
paragraph (1) for that following year. Any amount determined under the 
preceding sentence which is not a multiple of $1 shall be rounded to the 
nearest multiple of $1 (or, if it is a multiple of 50 cents but not a 
multiple of $1, to the next higher multiple of $1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\ So in original. Probably should be followed by a comma.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (3) Whenever the Secretary promulgates the dollar amount which shall 
be applicable as the monthly premium under this section, he shall, at 
the time such promulgation is announced, issue a public statement 
setting forth the actuarial assumptions and bases employed by him in 
arriving at the amount of an adequate actuarial rate for individuals 65 
and older as provided in paragraph (1).
    (4)(A) In the case of an individual described in subparagraph (B), 
the monthly premium for a month shall be reduced by the applicable 
reduction percent specified in the following table:

                                                          The applicable
                                                               reduction
For a month in:                                              percent is:
  1994..................................                     25 percent 
  1995..................................                     30 percent 
  1996..................................                     35 percent 
  1997..................................                     40 percent 
  1998 or subsequent year...............                     45 percent.

    (B) An individual described in this subparagraph with respect to a 
month is an individual who establishes to the satisfaction of the 
Secretary that, as of the last day of the previous month, the 
individual--
        (i) had at least 30 quarters of coverage under subchapter II of 
    this chapter;

    under such subchapter;
        (iii) had been married to an individual for a period of at least 
    1 year (at the time of such individual's death) if at such time the

    subchapter; or
        (iv) is divorced from an individual and had been married to the 
    individual for a period of at least 10 years (at the time of the 
    divorce) if at such time the individual had at least 30 quarters of 
    coverage under such subchapter.

    (5)(A) The amount of the monthly premium shall be zero in the case 
of an individual who is a person described in subparagraph (B) for a 
month, if--
        (i) the individual's premium under this section for the month is 
    not (and will not be) paid for, in whole or in part, by a State 
    (under subchapter XIX of this chapter or otherwise), a political 
    subdivision of a State, or an agency or instrumentality of one or 
    more States or political subdivisions thereof; and
        (ii) in each of 84 months before such month, the individual was 
    enrolled in this part under this section and the payment of the 
    individual's premium under this section for the month was not paid 
    for, in whole or in part, by a State (under subchapter XIX of this

    subparagraph (C)) on the basis of the person's employment in one or 
    more positions covered under any such system, and (II) the person 
    would have at least 40 quarters of coverage under subchapter II of 
    this chapter if remuneration for medicare qualified government 
    employment (as defined in paragraph (1) of section 410(p) of this 
    title, but determined without regard to paragraph (3) of such 
    section) paid to such person were treated as wages paid to such 
    person and credited for purposes of determining quarters of coverage 
    under section 413 of this title;
        (ii)(I) the person was married (and had been married for the 
    previous 1-year period) to an individual who is described in clause 
    (i), or (II) the person met the requirement of clause (i)(II) and

    an individual described in clause (i)(I);
        (iii) the person had been married to an individual for a period 
    of at least 1 year (at the time of such individual's death) if (I) 
    the individual was described in clause (i) at the time of the 
    individual's death, or (II) the person met the requirement of clause 
    (i)(II) and the individual was described in clause (i)(I) at the 
    time of the individual's death; or

    requirement of clause (i)(II) and the individual was described in 
    clause (i)(I) at the time of the divorce.

    (C) For purposes of subparagraph (B)(i)(I), the term ``qualified 
State or local government retirement system'' means a retirement system 
that--
        (i) is established or maintained by a State or political 
    subdivision thereof, or an agency or instrumentality of one or more 
    States or political subdivisions thereof;
        (ii) covers positions of some or all employees of such a State, 
    subdivision, agency, or instrumentality; and
        (iii) does not adjust cash retirement benefits based on 
    eligibility for a reduction in premium under this paragraph.

(e) Contract or other arrangement for payment of monthly premiums

    Payment of the monthly premiums on behalf of any individual who 
meets the conditions of subsection (a) of this section may be made by
