may secure such recomputation upon the
filing of an application. Such recom-
putation shall be made in the same man-
ner as though such individual had filed
the application at the time of death.

(c) Payments under recomputation
permitted by paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this section. A recomputation permitted
by paragraph (a) or (b) of this section
shall be effective for and after the month
in which the survivor became entitled
to monthly benefits. For months after
August 1954, such amount shall be de-
termined through the use of the conver-
sion table under § 404.234. No recompu-
tation under such paragraphs will affect
the amount of a lump-sum death pay-
ment (§ 404.363); nor shall it render er-
roneous any lump-sum death payment
certified prior to the effective date of
such recomputation.

Any individual who is entitled to old-
age insurance benefits under section 202
(a) for months after October 1951 and
whose benefits do not include the com-
pensation received by him for his service
in the railroad industry may have his
benefits recalculated to include such
compensation, provided such compensa-
tion may otherwise be treated as wages
under the provisions of Subpart O of
this part. No application is necessary
for such recalculation. Such recalcula-
tion shall be made in the same manner
as such individual's monthly benefits un-
der section 202(a) were last computed;
any increase in such benefit amount due
to such recalculation shall be effective
for and after November 1951.
