SEC. 3. Remuneration which is deemed under section 1402 (e) (4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 to constitute remuneration for employment shall also be deemed, notwithstanding sections 210 (a) (8) (A) and 211 (c) of the Social Security Act, to constitute remuneration for employment (and not net earnings from self-employment) for purposes of title II of such Act.

SEC. 4. (a) Section 3, and the amendments made by the first section of this Act, shall apply with respect to monthly insurance benefits under title II of the Social Security Act for months beginning after, and lump-sum death payments under such title in the case of deaths occurring after, the date of the enactment of this Act.

(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a), in the case of any individual who

(1) (A) has remuneration which is deemed, by reason of section 3, to constitute remuneration for employment for purposes of title II of the Social Security Act, or

(B) has income which constitutes net earnings from selfemployment under such title by reason of the filing of a certificate pursuant to section 1402 (e) (3) (A) or (B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, and

(2) was entitled to monthly insurance benefits under title II of the Social Security Act for the month in which this Act is enacted,

section 3 and the amendments made by the first section of this Act shall apply with respect to monthly insurance benefits under such title based on his wages and self-employment income only if he, or any other person entitled to monthly insurance benefits under such title on the basis of such wages and self-employment income, files, on or after the date of enactment of this Act, an application for recomputation by reason of this Act. Such recomputation shall be made in the manner provided in title II of the Social Security Act as in effect at the time of the last previous computation or recomputation of such individual's primary insurance amount and as though the application therefor was filed in the month in which the application for such last previous computation or recomputation was filed. No recomputation under this subsection shall be regarded as a recomputation under section 215 (f) of the Social Security Act. Any such recomputation shall be effective for and after the twelfth month before the month in which the application therefor is filed, but in no case for any month which begins on or prior to the date of the enactment of this Act. Any such recomputation shall be effective only if it results in a higher primary insurance amount.

(c) The preceding provisions of this section shall not render erroneous any monthly insurance benefits under title II of the Social Security Act for the month in which this Act is enacted or any prior month.
